    Iʼve raised £3,346 to To fund my Broadcast Journalism MA

    Cambridgeshire
    Funded on Saturday, 1st January 2022

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    My name is Iqra and I’m a disabled care leaver. I have Spina Bifida and I’m confined to a wheelchair.

    I was taken into foster care when I was 15 years old.

    My circumstances around this time affected my education. Which led to poor exam results.

    My GCSE results were terrible. I remember feeling ashamed of myself. Where was my life going?

    Statistics show that only 6% of care leavers make it to university.

    I am now included in that 6%

    I‘m now 23 and graduated last year. I have a Multimedia Journalism degree.

    The final step in my journey is to complete a masters. Broadcast Journalism is what I want to study.

    “It isn’t where you come from; it‘s where you‘re going that counts” - Ella Fitzgerald

    But I need some help. A postgraduate degree is something I won’t be able to fund independently.

    Unlike many other students I don‘t have anyone to rely on financially. But I’m not going to give up.

    A student loan will not cover both my course and living expenses. The target I hope to raise will pay for my course.

    Thank you :)

      A big thank you to everyone who donated, I really mean that. You all read my story and wanted to help. That truly means more than you can imagine. It’s been so heartwarming reading everyone’s messages of support. I didn’t reach my target but that doesn’t mean I’m any less grateful. I will be using the donations to pay for accommodation during my time studying in Cardiff. Thank you Iqra x
