My personal savings have finished and the sponsor supporting me will not be able to continue supporting me. At the moment, I have no personal savings, no income or pension. +
Iam already finding other Financial Support like Sponsors. I have no Savings and i do not have Family Members who could support me! No Pension +
my sponsor give me 10.000 EUR.
then i need 14,000 to complete. +
I have personal savings that I can use if the first six months of funding are unavailable. These savings will also cover health insurance, visa expenses, ritual items, and personal expenses, such as toiletries, etc. My parents have offered to loan me money if I need it, but I would prefer not to be in financial debt, if at all possible. +
My mother will occasionally help me with some financial assistance +
Personal savings and sponsors from my Sangha in Belgium will help me to pay for my health assurance, the shrine items and the six first months of the retreat, if this cannot be covered by Tsadra. +
I have already paid $2,500 for the pre-retreat as well as $9,600 for the first year of retreat. This money came from my personal savings. Unfortunately, I do not have any family or sponsors that are able to help with the cost of retreat at this time. +
My sponsoring is ending in November 2022.
Please see in attached file my financial situation. +
My husband will support me 7,800 USD.
I do not have personal savings, because I have not worked since 2008. I devote all my time to practice and translating dharma voluntarily without pay.
I wrote to some of my friends about my three year retreat, but they have not responded me yet. +
Personal savings $1000 +
Personal savings approx. $4000.00. No familial, or friendship based financial support, or other types of financial assistance presently, researching other opportunities. +
A friend has offered 1,000
Another friend has offered to cover the remainder of the costs, whatever I am not able to raise.
So the goal would be to raise about 4,000 from friends. +
In case of necessity I would have to opt for the following:
Financial aid from the Milarepa Retreat Zentrum (would have to apply in case of not receiving the scholarship).
Family support from my immediate family (in case I can't receive any kind of scholarship or financial aid). +
nil - please see document on financial situation +
I own a flat that is currently rented at 470eur/month. +
I don't really have fun financial support income except for what I earn now in DorjeDenmaLing (DDL), Shambala Center in Canada. Since I left my job as a dental surgeon in Ukraine in 2008 I haven't been really working anywhere else except doing volunteer work for different Buddhist centers, primarily for DDL. Most of the Centers do not pay for volunteer work. DDL would give a small stipend but it was enough for me to purchase travel tickets to move to another Dharma. It has only recently that the Canadian government asked DDL to pay minimum wage even though that would not be enough to really earn any money. And only this year DDL pays more than the minimum wage to the workers but I also support my Ukrainian family who is now in Portugal. So therefore I'm asking for this amount of money that could cover my airplane tickets when I need to leave Canada and go back to my family + the cost of the liturgies. Thank you for your support. +
I have about 25,000 dollars in personal savings. I have no family support due to differences in religious beliefs. I receive 50 dollars a month towards dharma offering supplies such as tea lights and incense as an offering from a friend. I have not reached out to friends directly asking for retreat support mostly due to the times and people being so financially challenged due to Covid. I am going to seek some extra support after retreat, so I hope to find at least $100 monthly to augment what I am currently requesting from Tsadra so that the budget it is not too tight for all unanticipated or unexpected expenses such as house maintenance, etc. +
I will be working hard to save up as much as I can in the coming year and the years between retreat cycles.
I will also be exploring fundraising options. +
I can imagine some people may need a scholarship more than I do. I submit this application knowing this. I heard the Foundation encourages people who want to do a second three-year retreat.
I have personal savings, but that is all I have. No sponsors. I will receive a small pension starting July 2024. Given my age and my professional trajectory, it is uncertain whether I will easily find work in 2025 and 2027 - and after 2029 - to make up for the cost of this retreat.
Thank you. +
I receive $1000 a month Canada Pension +
