Sharing of Fund Recipients - WU On Di

As I navigate through the complexities of my academic journey in Computer Science with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence at the university, I am profoundly grateful for the generous support from the donors of the HKBU Alumni Gratitude Fund (AGF) and the unwavering assistance provided by the Unit for Students with Special Educational Needs (USSEN). Your contributions and support have immensely alleviated the burdens that threatened to undermine my academic progress and overall well-being.

Pursuing an advanced degree in such a demanding field requires immense dedication and focus. However, balancing my rigorous academic requirements with my health challenges has been a formidable task. I have been under continuous medical care with regular consultations in various specialties. The frequency of these medical appointments, along with the substantial financial implications, had begun to take a toll on my ability to concentrate on my studies and research in AI.

The medical expenses associated with multiple specialist visits are considerable. Each visit not only adds financial strain but also impacts my physical and mental energy, leaving less for my studies and research projects. Before the intervention of AGF, the stress of managing these expenses was overwhelming. There were moments when the financial burden of medical care seemed insurmountable, threatening to derail my educational objectives and future career in technology.

Thanks to the generosity of AGF donors, a significant portion of my medical expenses has been covered. This support has lightened the financial load considerably, allowing me to redirect my focus and energy back to where it belongs - on my academic and research pursuits in the field of artificial intelligence. The relief from constant financial worry has enabled me to engage more deeply with my coursework and participate more fully in lab activities, which are crucial for my professional growth and development.

Moreover, the officer at USSEN has been instrumental in facilitating this support. From the initial application to the ongoing management of my case, the officer provided clear, detailed explanations of the processes involved and the support available. This guidance was crucial in helping me navigate the bureaucratic aspects of receiving aid, allowing me to apply successfully and receive the needed funds without undue delay or hassle.

The impact of your help extends beyond just financial relief; it is a holistic support system that empowers me to maintain my health and excel academically. The generosity of AGF donors and the efficient, compassionate support from USSEN have not only ensured my academic survival but have enhanced my university experience, enabling me to aim for excellence without the looming worry of medical expenses.
