Shiva, is one of the deepest people I know. He is kind, caring and compassionate. I worked with Shiva during the peak of my career, and worked well with him. His enthusiasm to try, to succeed, and to inspire others touched my heart.

Even though we moved job roles, and even though we live in different countries, Shiva remains one of my closest friends. His deep thoughts, and passion for other people shine through. Shiva is unfortunately unemployed, and became depressed after his work situation changed. His culture so very different from my own and the Western world, I tried to understand what this meant to him. Shiva feels he has let down his family, and those who matter, as he suspended finishing off his course and his exams to excel at work. With circumstances having changed so dramatically, Shiva was unable to cope with the transition, and with no savings, due to always helping others, he had no hope of finishing off his qualification, resulting in a deeper depression as he felt, more than anything, he had broken his promise to his mum. This alone broke his heart and he has spent the last year of his life donating what little money he has to help other people, who he feels are more vulnerable than himself. He spent £50 on animals in a UK animal shelter by sending them a shipment of toys, and treats. He has also donated £50 to the homeless here in the UK, so we can buy much needed necessities for them this Christmas.

I would like to give Shiva a chance, and help give him something that will help towards paying for the remainder of his qualification and exams. Help Shiva get ICAI & ICMAI from India and CIMA UK qualified. Shiva is a person who will always pay it forward, who doesn't take anything for granted. I know that once he is qualified, Shiva will help those who can't afford to pay, those who like him are stuck between a rock and a hard place, because, he cares.
