<div><strong>UPDATE: Qusay will soon be crossing the border to Egypt to stay safer and make his eventual passage to Glasgow easier. We are thus adding an additional objective to the fundraiser: covering his living costs in Egypt.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are a coalition of students from Glasgow University and the University of St Andrews, raising money for our friend Qusay so he has the necessary funds to accept his unconditional offer to study Computing Science at Glasgow University. All money raised will be transferred to Qusay for his studies.

</div>
<div><strong>Qusay's message:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Qusay Al-Reqeb, and I am writing these words from a place where hope is as scarce as bread. For over eight months, my "home" has been a thin fabric tent pitched on the sand of the Gaza shore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Imagine waking up every day to the sound of waves, not as a luxury, but as a reminder that you have nowhere else to go. We have been displaced multiple times, fleeing from death only to face a slower one. In this tent, there is no privacy, no warmth and no certainty. When it rains, we soak; when the sun is out, we stifle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But the weather is not our only enemy. We are living through a period of profound starvation. My father’s salary has been cut off for more than two years, leaving us with nothing. There are days when our only goal is to find a single meal. Education seems like a luxury in a place where people are fighting for a bag of flour but, for me, it is the only path back to humanity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Against all odds, amidst the hunger and the constant fear of bombardment, I managed to secure an acceptance to the University of Glasgow. When I received the email, I cried—not just out of joy, but out of the sheer impossibility of it. How can a young man who hasn't had a proper meal or a roof over his head in months reach the halls of one of the world's oldest universities?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I refuse to let my story end under a piece of plastic on a beach. I have the brains, the ambition and the will but I am trapped by poverty and war. I am reaching out to your humanity. I am asking for a chance to trade the smell of smoke and salt for those of books and ink.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation will be my bridge out of this nightmare. It will cover:
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Tuition Fees</strong>, for the Computing Science course that I could never dream of affording.
</li>
<li><strong>Living Expenses</strong>, to help me recover from months of malnutrition and start a new life in Scotland.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every donation, no matter how small, is an act of mercy.</strong> It is a statement that a student from Gaza deserves a future, not just a grave.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please, help me leave this tent. <strong>Help me prove that education is stronger than war.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
