In a video by @thechefose, the young lady revealed that if she didn’t pay her school fees by April 25th, her student visa would be withdrawn.
The Biomedical Science student stated that if it happened, then her 3 years of schooling would come to an end.
According to her GoFundMe account, she had £7,550 left to pay by April 25th, 2025.
Despite setting the goal for £8,000, the young lady exceeded it within 24 hours, and as of the time of this report, she had over £8,500 (about N17 million) raised by strangers.
She said:
“Hi, my name is Dominion, and I’m a third-year Biomedical Science student studying in the UK. I’m reaching out for help to cover my final tuition payment and avoid being withdrawn from my program.
“For the past three years, I’ve been working hard to complete my degree, and my parents have supported me every step of the way sacrificing so much to help me pursue this dream. Unfortunately, due to financial hardship, we’ve reached a point where we cannot meet the deadline due to the limited time.
“I now have £7,550 left to pay by April 25th, 2025. The university has made it clear that if I don’t meet this deadline, I will be withdrawn from the program and my student visa will be cancelled.”
