Help a St. Louis Student Avoid Unenrollment and Finish Her Degree
From childhood, she has endured unimaginable challenges:
- Grew up in an abusive household, living in constant fear without a safe place or support system.
- Education became her escape, a way to envision a future free of the trauma she experienced.
- Through perseverance, she was accepted into Maryville University to pursue a bachelor’s in Business Administration.
- In her final year, her student visa was revoked. Facing deportation back to the abusive environment she had fled, she fought a difficult legal battle to get her SEVIS reinstated and remain in the U.S.
- Seeking stability, she entered a marriage that sadly turned toxic, and she is now navigating a painful divorce along with the legal and emotional fallout.
Because of these crises, she now owes $24,000 to her university. If this balance is not paid, she will be unenrolled from school and could lose the degree she has fought so hard to complete. Without her degree, she risks returning to Pakistan and the same unsafe environment she has tried to escape.
Why your help matters
She has no financial support from family and is turning to the community for help. This is more than just paying tuition — this is about protecting her future and ensuring that years of struggle and perseverance don’t end here.

- Help her cover the $24,000 tuition balance at Maryville University.
- Keep her enrolled so she can finish her degree and secure a better future.
- Provide hope and stability at a time when she is fighting to rebuild her life.

She isn’t just asking for survival. She’s asking for the chance to finally finish her education — the same education that has been her lifeline through the darkest times.
