International student facing financial difficulty

Hi
I am a second year international student at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland studying my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry (BSc Hons). My uncle who is Canadian is the one who has been financially supporting my education. He is a geologist who worked for an oil company in Iraq. However,when the war broke out in Iraq the company he was working for was shut down, and all the workers including him where evacuated from there. As a result of this, he lost his job and went back to Canada. Now he can't afford paying for my tuition as he also has a family of his own to support. I have tried many roots to get funding to complete the last two years of my degree, but none of it worked. I would appreciate if any one could advice me on this and what I need to do to get a source of funding. Thank you in advance.
