Please guide me out
A.o.A everyone,
I'm embarrassed to even post this, and honestly my hands are shaking as I write it. But I have nowhere else to turn.
I'm a master student at NUST, and I also work a full time job to support my family both my parents are heart patients, and my divorced sister lives with us. I give tuitions on the side just to make ends meet. I give everything I have, but it's never quite enough.
My thesis is nearly done. I'm just weeks away from my final defence. But I'm on the defaulter list for unpaid hostel and mess dues around 115k and until those are cleared, I can't defend. Five months ago I even had to leave the hostel because of this and have been living at my workplace since.
Every month, my parents medications and household expenses take everything. The fine keeps growing. If I can't defend in the next two weeks, I'll be forced into another semester more time, more money I don't have and years of research could amount to nothing.
I work 12 hours a day just for bread and butter. Without this degree, that's where I stay.
I'm not asking for charity. I'm asking if anyone knows of a loan even through installments or anyone connected to welfare organizations or FAO who might be able to help. I will pay it back. I just need a way through right now.
If you know anyone or anything that could help, please share. I'm completely stuck.
