Help my friend Laial rebuild her home & complete education

I am Stella Brown, a culinary teacher at a non-profit in Brooklyn, NY. My friend Laial has entrusted me to create and manage this campaign to raise funds for her and her family to rebuild a future abroad to continue their education. All money raised will be directly sent to Laial.

Hello! Life is truly beautiful when we live it in peace and tranquility. Here is a part of my humble story: we are a simple, small family who loves life and lives in peace, and I am one of its members. I am Layal, a 21-year-old Palestinian living in Gaza, and this is my story. I created this link to seek your help to save me and my family from what we are experiencing. In this war, I lost my beautiful home, my room, my memories—everything. We lost our source of income, and my future was destroyed. I study law, but I can no longer continue my studies because my university was destroyed. My sister, Lama, a university student, couldn't complete even one semester. We need to continue our education abroad. We have been displaced multiple times and are enduring many harsh moments. Everything is difficult here; prices are exorbitant, everything is very expensive, and food is scarce. My brother, Maher, an author of four books, lost many of his works, his source of income, and everything was shattered. I walked 12 km from Rafah to Gaza to find my home, but I found it destroyed, with rubble everywhere. It's heartbreaking!

I deserve to live like any other person in this world. If you can donate through this link, I would be very grateful for saving me and my family. We hope you can help us build a future abroad. We aspire to live in peace like the rest of the world, but this war has turned our dreams into mere illusions, and everything is lost. However, we will not give up because we love life and deserve to live like everyone else. We are the makers of hope, love, and peace. Please share my campaign, and I will be immensely grateful to you.
