My name is Qassim, I’m 21 years old, and I’ve been living through hell.

I graduated high school full of dreams — ready to go to university, to build a future, to live a normal life. But the war began right after. Since then, everything has been taken from me. My home, my safety, my plans… all gone.

Now I wake up every day to airstrikes, destruction, and fear. There’s no work, no future, no peace. Just survival.

I’m trying to escape Gaza — not to chase luxury, but simply to live, to be safe, to have a chance again. But I can’t do it alone. I need help to cover the enormous costs of leaving: documents, travel, basic needs.

If you can, please help me. Every donation, every share, is a lifeline. I just want the chance to live the life the war stole from me.

With all my heart,

qassim
