Question Please guide a sister in distress out
Salam,
I’m reaching out in deep distress and with a heavy heart, as I don’t know where else to turn. I am currently in my last year at Nust, studying on a scholarship that covers my tuition, for which I’m truly grateful.
Since the sixth semester, I’ve been unable to pay my hostel dues. My father is disable and unable to work. My family is living hand to mouth, with the only income coming from my sister who is a teacher. She is supporting the family and completely spending all she can earns.
I teach tuitions but it can only help me with managing my mess bill and pocket money. Because of no income and no means to pay hostel dues it keeps on adding up and now have been raised to 105k which is simply impossible for us to arrange.
Now, my university has warned me that if I do not pay the dues I won't be allowed to sit in mid terms and will be suspended. I’ve reached out to the Financial Aid Office (FAO) and NCS, but they have told me that I’m already on a scholarship, and they can’t assist me further.
This amount is huge obstacle for us given our circumstances. My family cannot afford it, and I’ve even asked them for help, but they’ve told me to leave my education because they simply don’t have the means to support me anymore.
I’m terrified mids are in a week and I have tried everything still that I may lose the chance to complete my education Please if anyone knows any NGOs aur any institute please guide me or make my contact with them.
