Hello, my name is Shahd. I’m 19 years old and currently living in southern Gaza after being displaced by the war. I live in a worn-out tent with my only family member—my aunt. My parents have been separated for a long time, and I’ve been supporting myself as best as I can to continue my education.

We have no source of income. Every day is a struggle—whether it’s the harsh weather, lack of food, or the constant fear of losing what little we have. Despite everything, I try to hold on to hope and the dream of a better future.

I want to continue my studies and change my life, but right now I can’t even secure the basics. Our tent barely protects us, and we live without the simplest human needs. I study whenever I can, but it’s getting harder every day.

Please, I’m asking for your help—not just for myself, but also for my aunt, who has no one else. Your support could give us shelter, food, and a chance to live with dignity. More than anything, it could help me return to my education and rebuild a future that war has tried to take from me.

Even the smallest donation can make a huge difference. Please help us survive. Please help me hold on to hope. Please help me to sustain and survive we need to live please
