A genuine request for help with finances in my education and skill development
Hi everyone. This is honestly very difficult for me to write, and I never thought I would have to ask strangers for financial help, but I am currently in a situation where I don't know what else to do.
I'm a college student from India. I come from a single-parent family, and my mother is responsible for supporting our family, including me and my younger sister. With regular household and educational expenses, it has become very difficult for us to manage additional costs.
I genuinely want to continue investing in my education and skills so that I can eventually become financially independent and support my family instead of adding to my mother's financial burden.
My overall educational and related financial requirements are approximately ₹50,000. I am trying to arrange around ₹20,000 myself, but I am still facing a shortage of approximately ₹30,000.
Part of this amount is for a 6-month Cyber Forensics and Cyber Security certificate course connected to my academic field, along with other education and skill-development expenses.
I understand that asking strangers for money is a big request, and I don't expect anyone to blindly trust me. I can provide genuine information and supporting documents regarding my educational expenses. I have also created a fundraiser for transparency.
If anyone is willing to help, even a small contribution would make a difference. If not, I completely understand. Even advice or suggestions regarding scholarships, financial assistance, or opportunities for students would be appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.😀
