Please help a brother out
Assalam o Alaikum everyone,
I feel really embarrassed writing this here, but honestly I have reached a point where I don’t know what else to do.
I am currently studying BS Computer Science at NUST and I am about to start my 5th semester.
Until a few months ago, my father was supporting my education and our family. Around five months ago, he suddenly suffered a severe heart attack. We spent almost everything we had on his treatment and also took loans. He later underwent bypass surgery, but unfortunately my father passed away around two months ago.
Since then, our whole financial situation has changed.
My father’s pension has still not started, we already have debts from his treatment, and right now we are basically managing our household expenses with a lot of difficulty. I am also trying to do whatever work I can alongside my studies to support my mother and manage my own expenses.
The problem is that my 5th semester fee is around PKR 225,000, and at this point there is absolutely no way for us to arrange this amount.
I have already approached the university scholarship/financial aid office and NAA and tried whatever options I could, but unfortunately I was informed that the relevant assistance is not being awarded this year.
I really don’t want to leave my degree after reaching this point. Completing my education is honestly the only way I see myself becoming financially independent and being able to support my mother in the future.
It is very difficult and embarrassing for me to ask here, but if anyone can help me with the semester fee, even partially, or can lend me some amount that I can repay gradually once I start earning, I would be extremely grateful.
If someone wants to help by paying the university fee directly, that is completely fine as well.
I can provide all verification including my NUST student ID, enrollment details, official fee challan, my father’s death certificate, medical documents, and any other proof required.
I have genuinely tried every option available to me before posting here. I just don’t want my education to stop because of something that is currently completely beyond my control.
If anyone can help, guide me toward someone who can, or even connect me with any donor, organization or person who supports students in such situations, I would be really grateful.
JazakAllah Khair for reading.
