-> please share/help me get out of a very homophobic country via uni applications (T_T)! <-
[reblogs appreciated!!]
Hi there! I'm putting this post out because I'm a full-time student unable to gain employment here due to our university preventing me from getting a job (under risk of expulsion).
I live in South Asia (Pakistan) and the area I live in has been getting pretty worse with regards to queer people.
I'm pretty sure I'm at risk of getting outed at my university department because of certain questions targeted at me recently by a supervisor who thinks that people like us should be put to death.
Because my very existence in this country is subject to arrest and other things I'd rather not think about, I need to get out ASAP.
Unfortunately, my parents will only pay for my ticket to Canada (I have citizenship) under the condition that I get accepted into a university there, but they're not going to help me cover the application fees.
Plus, they keep all the documents I need to get out of the country with them. As someone with basically no disposable income, I'm gonna need some help.
I'm a PharmD candidate and I'm hoping to apply to UofT, UWaterloo, and two more places (probably Saskatchewan so I can stay with my cousin). If I get accepted, I'm getting out of here by May-June and hopefully will be in a safer place.
I'm trying to raise $700 CAD (Canadian dollars) because UWaterloo's application costs $215, $250 for UofT, and I'm hoping the rest will cover two more applications.
If I can even apply for one or two, that's more than enough! I'd appreciate it so much!!
I have until January, so please help me out!
I'm not the best at art, but I wouldn't mind doing some silly little commissions if you'd like, and I also take writing commissions (details to come). I also have a Redbubble shop that'll go live soon. Until then, please support me!
Here's my: p*yp*l
You can also buy me a coffee!
