I am using all of my own savings to finance the one year preparatory retreat I am on now. My family members are either not able or not interested to sponsor my retreat. I have one sponsor who has promised $2000 towards the next year of retreat. I am continuing to seek out other sponsors and have some interest from people but no commitments yet. +
Until recently I was receiving some support from a few friends varying between 150-350EUR/month and completing monthly expenses with my savings.
Because of recent changes in the world, few of my friends cannot help me any more.
I still have about 3000 EUR on my personal account for health insurance, personal expenses,etc. Other than this I do not have any other income, pensions or support from my family. +
I have some personal savings of approximately 2,000€. Additionally, a few friends are offering support during my retreat. +

I own a flat that is currently rented at 470eur/month. +
Personal savings, family support. Will seek additional "crowdfunding" support from sangha in the coming months. +
I will be partly funding the retreat from personal funds. I am preparing to sell a small property to have the money for the retreat. This should bring me about 18,000 euros: 16,125 euro to cover 1/2 of the retreat cost + 2000 euro for the Shrine items required in retreat. +
I have personal finances of disability benefit which I can pay £3,075 up until May 2025 and I have applied for a sponsor for the other amount of £1,200 from the Khyentse Foundation for one year of which I have not yet received a confirmation. A Dharma friend has also offered a small amount of sponsorship but the amount is yet to be confirmed. +
