Hello, my name is Lachelle and I am posting this campaign on behalf of my friend, Reem Khalil. I have become close friends with her sister, Aya, and her sister-in-law, Baraa, and have agreed to make this fundraiser for her. All funds will be put towards Reem’s evacuation and the continuation of her education outside of Gaza. I will be transferring the funds via PayPal. Here is her message:

Hello everyone, I am Reem Khalil from Gaza from Palestine, I am 22 years old. I was studying electrical engineering at the Islamic University in Gaza. I was supposed to graduate this year, but as you know, the Israeli war has destroyed everything.

My family and I were displaced to the south of the Gaza Strip in search of safety away from the bombing and missiles of the Israeli occupation. l had a wonderful and colorful life full of dreams. Everything was available. We lived in safety and security in a warm and affectionate house. l was excited about my life after graduation, the life I was creating, and the dreams I was pursuing. But now, after the Israeli genocide on Gaza, everything has changed and disappeared and it has become difficult in light of the war on Gaza.

We are suffering from all aspects of life. Now we lack security and living in peace. If you can provide anything to help my education after the loss and devastation I have experienced, please donate or share this page. The last attempt to survive ‎every donation makes a difference. To help me reach my goal, consider sharing my GoFundMe link with your friends, family, and social networks. Spread the word about my story and the impact she's making in my community. Every donation, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to achieving my dreams. Support me to get out of Gaza and start a new safe life. Together, you can make a difference in my life.
