Help Menna evacuate and complete her education

Donation protected
Hi everyone, 
I am fundraising on behalf of my friend Menna who is currently 18 years old, stuck with her whole family in R*fah, Palest**ne. I have been in contact with her, and she has expressed that she has lost hope in asking for help. She does not know what to do. As someone who has younger siblings myself, it breaks me that her amongst so many other bright and resilient P*lestin*an students have had their dreams of education destroyed. 

This was part of a message she has sent to me with assistance from her older brother Basel, to bring light to her situation, in an effort to secure her aspirations for the future.

“I would like to express my gratitude for your interest in my case and story. I come to you with a broken and oppressed heart due to the current events. I seek your support and assistance in spreading my story to the whole world so that I can reach my goal and achieve my dream. My name is Menna, I am 18 years old. I had many dreams and aspirations. I graduated from high school with a GPA of 93% after a lot of hard work and dedication. Because a person always pursues their dream, I decided to join the College of Computer Science at the Islamic University to achieve my dream of becoming a software engineer. But unfortunately, not everything beautiful always comes to fruition. What happened, happened, and my university was completely destroyed. Unfortunately, I only have memories of less than a month of joining college. Everything that was a dream for me has vanished with what happened. Now, after more than 190 days of losing hope and losing my future, and losing my first year of college, I decided not to give up. So, I created this campaign to help me pave my way again and travel to continue my education in the same field I have always dreamed of.
The evacuation costs to a safe place are high. We pay $5000 per person to allow them to travel through the border. Also, my annual study expenses if I want to join a university abroad are $4000 per year over 4 years, totaling $16,000. Monthly expenses including rent over 4 years of study cost $600 per month, totaling $28,800. Total expenses = $49,800 In Canadian dollars = $69,200 CAD. 

I hope that my words touch your compassionate hearts and that you help me achieve my dream and complete my educational journey to become a programmer.”

I have attached a picture of the demolished university she was going to attend. All of the money raised here, I will be directly transferring to her to not only use as a source for her basic needs to survive, but also give her some hope in being able to pay for her future education studies. 

Any donation would be immensely helpful, please consider donating to give her a chance to be able to achieve her dreams.
