<div>Hi everyone,


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>It is very difficult for me to share this, but today I am asking for help.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>I am a Palestinian refugee and a trans man currently living in the U.S. I have been here for 4.5 years, and during all this time, I have not been able to see my mother, my sisters, or the people I love most.


</div>

<div>Being away from my family for so long has been one of the hardest things I have ever gone through. Missing my mom and sisters every day has deeply affected me emotionally and mentally. There are no words to fully describe how painful it is to be separated from the people you love for years.


</div>

</div>


<div>My goal is to travel to another country where I can finally reunite with my family and see them again after 4.5 years apart.


</div>

</div>


<div>Unfortunately, travel expenses are very expensive, and I am struggling to afford this on my own. I am currently a university student and not working, which makes it even harder for me to cover the costs.


</div>

</div>


<div>I am hoping to raise $5,000–$5,500 to help cover flights and essential travel expenses.


</div>

<div>This trip means more to me than just travel. It would give me the chance to hug my mother and sisters again, reconnect with my loved ones, and help me heal emotionally. I truly believe this reunion would make a huge difference in my mental health and help me find the strength to keep moving forward and continue building my life.

<div>Any donation, no matter how small, would mean so much to me. Even sharing this post can make a huge difference.


</div>

</div>


<div>Thank you for your kindness, support, and compassion.
