International students hit especially hard by crisis

Mohammad is an international student who’s working on his master’s in social work at UH Mānoa. When the crisis hit, the financial support he had been receiving from his family evaporated because of the lockdowns. He is grateful for support from the Urgent Student Relief Fund, which has helped him buy food, medicine and other necessities. He said this funding is helping him and other students get by right now. “I hope donors will continue their contributions so that we can keep focus to our study, our health, our well-being and our survival. Mahalo for everything!” he said.
