# A Difficult Setback — I Must Now Wait Until June to Pursue My Dream
Hello my friends and supporters,
I’m writing this update with a heavy heart, but also with sincere gratitude for everyone who has continued to stand beside me during this difficult time.
First, I want to thank every person who has donated to my GoFundMe, shared my campaign, sent me an encouraging message, or kept me in their thoughts. Your kindness means more to me than I can express, especially during a period when I have been struggling to meet even my most basic needs while trying to rebuild my life here in Egypt.
In my last update, I shared that I had only two days left to raise $700 to cover the registration fee for my second specialty examination in Dermatology. Unfortunately, despite my efforts and the support I received, I was unable to raise the amount needed before the deadline.
As a result, I have missed the opportunity to register for the current examination, and I will now have to wait until next June for the next registration opportunity.
This has been incredibly painful to accept. Becoming a specialist in Dermatology is not simply a professional goal for me; it represents years of hard work, sacrifice, and hope for a better and more stable future. Having to put this step on hold because I cannot afford the examination fee is deeply discouraging, especially when I have worked so hard to keep moving forward despite the circumstances I face.
While I know that I cannot change what has happened, I am trying not to give up on my dream. I want to use the coming months to prepare for the next opportunity and, hopefully, find a way to cover the costs I will face along the way.
At the same time, my financial situation remains very difficult. The limited donations I have received have helped me cover some overdue bills, food, and essential daily expenses. I am deeply grateful for every contribution, but I still need help to meet my basic needs and work toward the next stage of my medical journey.
I am reaching out once again to ask for your help
If you are able to donate, even a small contribution would mean a great deal to me. Every donation brings some relief to my current situation and helps me take another step toward the future I am fighting for.
If donating is not possible for you right now, sharing my campaign with friends, family, or anyone who might be willing to help would also make a real difference.
I understand that these are difficult times for many people, and I never take anyone’s generosity for granted. I am sharing this update not only to explain this painful setback, but also to be honest about where things stand and to ask for your continued support as I try to find a way forward.
Thank you for reading my story, for your kindness, and for helping me hold on to hope when the road ahead feels so uncertain. Your support reminds me that I am not facing these challenges entirely alone.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Dr. Sahar
