(To random people who come across this fundraiser)

My name is Noboru. I am in an immediate crisis. I am facing eviction in 10-20 days, which will also sever access to the daily medication I need to stay alive.

I know that anyone hearing this will have a number of perfectly reasonable questions about how I got here, and what I've tried to do about it. The reality of my situation is a complex one, involving systemic failures in immigration, healthcare, and labor law.

Instead of a long story, I have written a direct FAQ to answer the questions I know you have. You can read it here: FAQ

After reading it, if you believe my life is worth helping to bridge this crisis, please give to this fundraiser. I am not asking for a permanent solution. I am asking for a 90-day window to survive and find that solution myself.

Hi friends,

Thank you so much for taking the time to read the personal case study I shared. It meant a lot to be able to be that open with you all.

As you know from the details, the situation is critical, especially with the threat of eviction hanging over my head.

I’ve spent the last few days creating a concrete plan, not just for survival, but for a real career pivot into GRC consulting—a field where I know I can thrive. But to even begin that 60-day plan, I first need to secure my housing and health.

To do that, I've launched a small fundraiser with a clear and immediate goal of $4,000 . This amount gets me stable, pays the rent arrears, and gives me the breathing room to execute the first steps of my new career path.

If you are in a position to contribute, any support you could offer would be a massive help in getting this plan off the ground.

Thank you again for being in my corner. It means more than you know.

With love and gratitude,

Noboru
