Here's the short run down: 
 
I have been accepted into a university programme beginning September 2026, but unexpectedly due to Trump administration policies I have been denied the student loans necessary to pay for tuition and housing. Without this, I may face deportation to the USA during a time of transgender genocide. Please help! 

To make matters even worse, my job is refusing to renew my contract, and I am supposed to move soon but I am no longer able to afford rent. Shit has hit the fan, this is an emergency for me!! 
 
If you can help with paying for my tuition, (or have any leads on me finding visa-sponsorship via employment!) it would help save me! 
 
------ 
 
My name is Rose, many of you may know me as the artist Rose Wood. I'm here asking for support because I feel like I've exhausted my other options. 
 
I moved to Ireland three years ago to pursue an MA in Philosophy &amp; Public Affairs. I achieved that goal, and have remained in Ireland on a postgraduate visa. I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to find a job that would sponsor a visa for me. 
 
As a transgender American, it's of paramount importance that I be allowed to stay in Ireland. The US government has begun pursuing a policy of genocide on trans and queer people within its borders. The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security has given multiple warnings that, "Genocide scholars say policies targeting transgender Americans match early warning signs of mass atrocity." (<a href="https://www.lemkininstitute.com/single-post/experts-warn-u-s-in-early-stages-of-genocide-against-trans-americans" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.lemkininstitute.com/single-post/experts-warn-u-s-in-early-stages-of-genocide-against-trans-americans</a>) That being said, I am doing everything within my power to avoid applying for asylum in Ireland. Asylum-seeking is a long and difficult process, and no trans Americans have had their applications for asylum approved at this time. As an transgender woman, activist, and academic in the fields of queer theory, progressive politics, and the phenomenonology of homelessness I am legitimately concerned for my safety should I be forced back to the US. 
 
To avoid seeking asylum, I have pursued further education that would allow me to keep my student visa. However recent legislation by the Trump regime has stripped away about half of the public loans that were available to graduate students. So now I am unable to get enough money to cover tuition, much less books, housing, food, or travel. I can't supplement that loan with a private student loan, as I don't have a creditworthy co-signer. 
 
On top of that, when I arrived 3 years ago, a foreign student only had to prove access to €3k euro to study in Ireland. They have since raised that €10k. 
 
On top of that, my current job as a shop assistant is refusing to renew my contract so I'll be unemployed in just a few weeks. 
 
So I am completely out ideas. I can't find a job to sponsor me, I can't find student loans or grants, it's too late in the year to apply for more scholarships. If this speaks to you, please help me out. If you don't want to donate here, consider buying my album on bandcamp.

---- 
 
I set €13k as the goal because I need about €1.5k to cover the rest of tuition. Then I need access to €10k for immigration. 
 
Thank you, and please wish me the best.
