Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, Dear donors

My name is Farha Banu, and I am a 19-year-old student with a dream I am determined to achieve, Insha'Allah. I am currently in my first year of B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science at J.N.N INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING. My father is an auto-rickshaw driver, and he has worked tirelessly his entire life to provide for our family. However, his health is failing, and the daily wages are no longer enough to meet our needs. With four people in our family, my mother, my older sister who is also in college, and me, the financial burden has become immense.

My college fees for this academic year are ₹1,95,500. By the grace of Allah and with a loan from some kind individuals, I managed to pay the initial amount of ₹95,000. But we simply do not have the resources for the remaining balance. My father’s savings were used to pay for my sister's fees, and there is nothing left. The thought of having to drop out of my course and abandon my dream is heartbreaking.

My goal is to complete my B.Tech degree and then pursue an M.Tech to get a good placement offer and a stable job. I want to lift my family out of poverty and take care of my parents, who have sacrificed everything for us. I want to honor my father's hard work by becoming a source of support for him in his old age. My education is not just for me; it is a means to build a better future for my entire family.

I am reaching out to you today with a sincere and humble heart, seeking your help. I believe in the power of our community and the immense reward of helping a fellow Muslim sister in need, especially one seeking knowledge. Your contribution, no matter how small, will be a form of Sadaqa Jariyah and a great blessing. It will not only help me complete my education but will also ease the burden on my family.

May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala bless you and your family for your generosity. JazakAllah Khair.
