Dear Friends, My name is Amina Sharif, I am a disabled person (physically handicapped wheelchair user) a determined and hardworking student from Okara, Pakistan. I am reaching out to you today with a hopeful heart and a dream that I have cherished for as long as I can remember. I aspire to pursue my higher education at the prestigious Institute of Special Education, University of the Punjab, where I can gain the knowledge and skills necessary to make a meaningful impact in my community and beyond. Growing up in a modest household, I have always valued education as the key to a brighter future. My parents have worked tirelessly to provide for our family, but despite their best efforts, we face significant financial challenges. With my father working as a laborer and my mother managing our household, it has become increasingly difficult for them to support my educational pursuits.

Throughout my academic journey, I have remained committed to my studies and have consistently achieved good grades.  I have been accepted into the University of the Punjab, a significant milestone in my educational journey. However, in order to secure my admission, I need to raise $324 to cover my tuition fees and other essential expenses. Unfortunately, my family's financial situation makes it impossible for us to raise this amount on our own. This is where I humbly ask for your support. Your generous contributions will not only help me achieve my educational dreams but also empower me to uplift my community in the future. With a degree from the University of the Punjab, I aim to pursue a career in special education, focusing on empowering persons with disabilities through education and health initiatives. Every little bit counts and your support will make a significant difference in my life. I believe that with hard work, determination, and the kindness of others, I can overcome this financial hurdle and pursue my passion for learning. Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and for any support you can provide. Together, we can turn dreams into reality.
