Zakat Eligible: Yes

Location: Mumbai

My name is Ansari Aafrin Mohamed Zaheer, and I am currently pursuing my Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at YMT Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital. My dream is to make a meaningful contribution to the healthcare field by providing holistic, traditional, and effective treatments to those in need. However, I am facing financial challenges that threaten my ability to continue my education.

I come from a close-knit family of four, including my father, mother, younger sister, and myself. My father has been the sole breadwinner of our family, working as a ladies' tailor for over 18 years. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdowns in 2020 led to him losing his job, leaving us in a difficult financial situation.

Despite these hardships, I am deeply committed to my education. I believe that through Ayurvedic medicine, I can make a positive difference in the lives of others. However, the financial burden of my studies is currently beyond my family’s means, and we are struggling to cover the costs of my education, along with other essential expenses.

I am reaching out for support to help me overcome this financial hurdle. Your contribution, no matter how small, will directly go towards my tuition fees, books, and other educational necessities, allowing me to focus on my studies and achieve my goal of becoming an Ayurvedic doctor.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. With your generosity, I will be one step closer to realizing my dreams and serving my community through healthcare.
