Hi, my name is Rida, and I'm a grad student in the Uk, I am fundraising for my friend Noor, a Palestinian mother in gaza hoping to purchase a laptop so she can complete her education amidst an ongoing genocide. I will be collecting the funds for Noor in the hopes of continuing to fight for her dream and her family.

"From Under the Rubble… A Palestinian Mother Fighting for Her Education

Hello,

My name is Noor, a Palestinian mother from Gaza, and a proud mom of two children.

I’m a university student studying Management Information Systems, and my dream is to finish my education and build a better future for myself and my kids.

Before the war, I had a simple, hopeful life—studying and caring for my little ones.

But the war changed everything. We lost our home, our sense of safety, and so much more…

Yet the only thing I refused to lose was hope.

Despite the bombings, displacement, and constant power cuts, I never gave up.

I completed my first semester with a 92% GPA, and the second with 90%—studying by the light of my phone, moving from one shelter to another, but always holding onto my dream.

Today, I need your help to continue my journey.

I’m raising funds to buy a laptop that will allow me to finish my online courses, complete programming projects, and submit reports for my studies.

Having a laptop is not a luxury—it’s my only way to keep learning.

My dream is to graduate, find a job, and become an example to my children—that even from pain, hope can grow.

But after everything we’ve been through, I can’t do this alone.

I believe there are still kind hearts in the world who care and want to make a difference.

Every contribution—no matter how small—will help me get closer to my dream and give my children a better future.

Please help me return to my studies and rebuild our lives.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with me

— Noor, Gaza"
