I am a neuropsychologist, stranded in the USA, having missed a flight at the end of 2018 to visit HIHT Dehradun, India, towards research on CDSS systems and patient infotainment terminals for mental wellness.
I lost my way backpacking and have survived two harsh winters, without much money, and have managed to keep my non-profit alive.
I am now a graduate student at UMN Twin cities and Hamline University, while I waited two long years for a faculty position or support. I would like to request help in the form of travel grants to visit HIHT Dehradun and several other hospitals in the Indian Himalayas so that I can complete my task of installing and educating the masses across the digital divide. Your funding will help me return to my country, to warmer weather, since housing presently is uncertain in st paul, MN, where I am located.
Free Willy, my non-profit can be browsed at freewillybc.wordpress.com

I hold a doctoral degree from UW Madison and a masters from maharishi university of management,
I do hope that support is provided towards hardware and travel grants towards my return to India.
Thanks
