Hello and thank you so much for taking the time to go through my post out of the many other people who also need financial assistance.
My story may not be something new because this is a story for quite a few international students moving countries for a better chance at life and to fully take on the role of someone who is expected to help make a difference in their society, family or country through education. That’s exactly me and this time all the odds just weren’t in my favour.
I have been a severely Type A kid since whenever I had the chance to be responsible, maybe at age 7. Always on track, getting everything done, meeting deadlines weeks before they’re due and knowing when to ask for help. I didn’t think I’d be one of the probable majority of students transitioning into university who were hit with so many changes that they go off track a little. In my case this would be mentally because it’s gotten much worse for me and my disassociation to a level of it bringing on memory issues and having me socially backing out. I have been working jobs and doing relatively well in school so I don’t know where I went wrong but if I reach out to family back home, I have to make them aware about my mental well-being and reach out time and again for additional support, which they’ve already invested so much by sending me abroad for education.
I have been trying to fix my mental health and seeking support amongst friends finally, which I was hesitant about and I am still doing well in school so I don’t want to pause here or go back home and start all over again and be a burden to people there just because of lack of financial resources. Along with that, I came across some dental issues this summer which was not the best addition to my bills.
I have paid what I was able to from my summer jobs which is exactly what I wanted to be able to do for the entire amount but I’m still short some $10,000 (which is a significant amount, I am aware and feel very bad about). But I would appreciate any support even if it helps me get at a $5000 or up to $10000 total.
If you’ve read up until here, my future and I would be grateful to you for any assistance you’re able to provide. If not, hey, you were kind enough to read my story and even getting this off my chest helps me out a ton. So thank you. You can support me through my PayPal link below.
