I am an international graduate student pursuing my Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence at a university here in New York. I moved to this city with a deep passion for technology and a dream of building a career where I can use AI to help solve complex problems.

Recently, I earned an incredible, career-starting internship in my field! I am beyond excited for this opportunity to apply my studies to the real world. However, the internship is unpaid, which has created an unexpected and urgent financial difficulty for me.

I am reaching out for community support to help me bridge this gap. I need to raise $4,200 to cover two critical expenses:

$3,500 for my program's tuition fee, which allows me to continue my studies.

$700 for my rent, which is due tomorrow.

As a new international student, I was only recently issued a Social Security Number and have not had time to build a credit history. Because of this, my application for a student loan was unfortunately denied. The current tough job market has also made it very challenging to find a part-time job that can fit with a demanding graduate-level course load.

Your support right now would be life-changing. It would mean I can secure my housing, stay enrolled in my Master's program, and fully commit to this important internship. You wouldn’t just be helping me pay my bills—you would be investing in my education and my future.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I am deeply grateful for any help you can offer during this challenging time.
