Unlike local students, international students rarely have access to the same safety nets, whether it’s financial support or the ability to work full-time to recover from unexpected setbacks. When faced with a crisis, such as a robbery, their lives can be thrown into disarray.
For someone like Mahesh, the loss of his laptop could mean falling behind in his coursework, potentially jeopardizing his academic standing. The financial blow might push him further into debt, and the emotional stress can affect his mental well-being.

Indian students face additional challenges—they are far from home, with little to no local family support, and they are often burdened by the pressure to succeed at any cost.
One such incident can derail their entire journey, putting at risk not only their education but their future careers and dreams.
In response to this unfortunate situation, Mahesh has launched a fundraising campaign, seeking help to replace the stolen items and recover from the financial impact.
He is hopeful that sharing his story will connect him with kind-hearted individuals who can understand the gravity of his situation and lend a helping hand.
