I am raising support for a young scientist at a critical turning point in her life. She is a newly graduated PhD from a top U.S. institution who has spent years in rigorous training to reach this moment. After earning her degree, she secured a highly competitive position in her field. However, an unexpected delay in her employment authorization through OPT has prevented her from beginning work. For the past four months, she has had no income, despite being fully prepared to step into her role.

During this time, she is facing significant financial strain while covering essential living expenses such as rent, groceries, and healthcare. Your support will help sustain her through this difficult period and ensure that she can remain secure to begin the career she has worked so hard to achieve.

All funds raised will go directly to her to help cover these essential needs while she awaits the start of her employment. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to give, sharing this page would also be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your generosity and support.
