Help 19 years old Shahd get to safety

Dear friends,

My name is Shahd Ismail, and I’m a 19-year-old Palestinian from Al-Maghazi camp in Gaza. Until recently, my life was filled with dreams and aspirations. Growing up, I always wanted to become a doctor, inspired by the memory of my father, who I lost to cancer when I was just five years old. His passing left a deep mark on my heart, and I promised myself that I would dedicate my life to saving others from similar pain.

I excelled in school and I was excited to start my medical education last October. However, the ongoing devastating crisis in Gaza has turned my dreams into a distant hope.

I’m reaching out to you today to ask for your help. I need to find a safe place and hopefully one day continue my education and work towards becoming a doctor. With your support, I can begin to rebuild my life, not only for myself but for those who have lost so much like I did.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a profound difference. It will help cover the costs of relocation, education, and basic living expenses as I seek to fulfill my dream. Your generosity can help a young girl rise from the ashes of devastation and become a light of hope for others.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Shahd Ismail
