My story:

—Heyooo, what's up guys! 

So...currently I'm still a student, working on a Bachelor's degree in MLS. And I was supposed to graduate from college way back in August of 2024. However, due to financial backlash, a tuition of my final year of college remains unpaid. As well as surging penalty fees. Leaving me trapped under debt.

Although most colleges allow their international students to renew their student visa despite college tuition with ease, MY college ABSOLUTELY refuses to - apart from their near neighbouring colleges. As well as reject the idea of me voluntarily exiting the country, request an open distance learning or help me seek scholarship aid. (Which theirs turned out to be a scam to lure international students in and they continuously refuse to admit). 

And so they decided to constrain me by not renewing my student visa. If I don't pay my tuition fee of my final year, possibly the worse case scenario, they would get me incarcerated.

Refusing me to renew my student visa puts my ways of earning income online, my way of trying to pay the tuition that THEY want me to do, my way of living under a roof and my way into entering my reappear exams of my previous year, in total jeopardy. 

Long story short: my sophomore year exams would've been cleared if not for their absurd rules of having to pay the entire final year tuition. And they keep adding penalty fees like an interest.

So my debt is constantly rising with each day. They function by greed.

They're basically a money-hungry syndicate with no care for the well-being of its international students, only the money brought before their eyes. It drives any student to spiral into mind-numbing madness when in my position.

That's when I turned to streaming, where I started making friends and built a small community. I'm a digital artist before a twitch streamer. Meaning, I made a small hobbyist living doing art commissions, but they weren't enough to survive.

For now hopefully, I can reach my goal before March. And I know this is too much of an ask, but I would gladly accept any help. No matter how small, I hope we can get there.

Thank you
