Dear Friends, I hope this message finds you in good health and spirits. My name is Victoria. I am an international student, currently pursuing my master’s degree in Technology, with a specialization in Energy market and Computer Engineering at a University in Germany. I have always been passionate about personal development through learning and I commit to making a meaningful difference in the world. I had stable employment until the demise of my husband when things took a downhill turn, making it increasingly difficult to support myself especially after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My family has been a great source of support for me. But now as my situation has become more complex with multiple cancer-related surgeries, which include a Mastectomy, a Brain tumor surgery, and a hysterectomy in December 2024, they are no longer able to help as they would have if they can afford it. Unfortunately, we all lack the financial resources to do so. Despite these challenges, I still strive to complete my Masters Degree. My medical situations have been overwhelming and have made it very challenging to have a regular student job, which is grossly inadequate to pay my bills. I am above the age of 30 and do not have statutory health insurance coverage. The private insurance I signed up for, declined the payment of my medical bills as they claim it is a preexisting condition. While I am courageously fighting this disease, the financial burden of medical and living expenses has become insurmountable. To complete my studies, I need to extend my student residence visa to the end of the winter semester in 2026. This is because the surgeries have extended my studies for another year. The visa extension application requires me to provide a funded account, with a minimum balance of 5.000 Euros as proof of fund for living expenses. I currently do not have this amount and I am unable to raise it from a student job. I risk losing my student status, as I urgently need to apply for a student visa extension to complete my studies. Apart from the funded account, I require the monthly purchase of these prescriptions: Zoladex tablets which cost 235 Euros, and letrozol at 53.42 Euro respectively. These are to control the cancer and minimize its spread. I am raising funds to help me resolve these issues. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a world of difference in helping me to continue my studies and fight against this cancer with the treatments that I desperately need. In times of hardship, it is the support of compassionate individuals like you that gives people like me the strength to keep going. I am thankful and I cannot express enough how deeply grateful I am for any help you can provide. Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and for standing with me in this critical moment. Your generosity is a beacon of hope, to ensure that I can complete my studies while attending to my health.
With heartfelt gratitude, Victoria
