<div>My name is Layaly and I would like to raise money on behalf of Naya and her daughter Zeina and their family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Please read the story:</strong>
</div>
<div>Today, I reach out to you with a heart filled with hope, and I carry with me a dream that transcends the boundaries of wars.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm <strong>Zeina </strong>Ahmad, a young soul at the age of sixteen, raised in a happy home with my sister Salma and brother Youssef.
</div>
<div>Since childhood everyone tells me that I've always outperformed my classmates, so since I was 6 years old, I received training in literary writing, poetry recitation, performing arts, science, and technology in quest of my passion.
</div>
<div>I enjoyed all fields, regardless of their differences, but I immersed myself in the world of programming and designing, finding there my spirit and passion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite the challenges and difficult circumstances and my young age, I managed to build a good reputation in my community as a talented and self-taught programmer. As a result, I was approved as a member of the university students' technology club while I still being in high school.
</div>
<div>I competed in various local and international mathematics, coding, and problem-solving challenges, where I placed highly, also I have participated in various local exhibitions, particularly with my AI projects, through which I tried improving my surroundings. I also participate in many volunteer activities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My passion is coding, and my love is media and photography. Therefore, I worked as the youngest journalist and covered several events in Gaza, also I have a technology program that I prepare and present in cooperation with a local TV channel, which discusses the branches of technology and its impact on our lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I aspire to study data science and AI, learn more about cloud computing, and I hope to represent my country in international exhibitions and contests in coding.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have many hobbies, such as reading, swimming, horse riding, skating, and cycling.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've lately begun working on self-training in problem solving. However, the recent war has devastated everything, our schools, our beautiful home, where I spent every moment, the university where I aspired to study, and all the training institutes that had helped me develop myself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Things seem tough, but I will persist in pursuing my dreams.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, I humbly ask for your financial support to help me leave Gaza, to save me and my family and so I can continue my education and programming journey. Let the war not extinguish our last dreams.
</div>

</div>
<div>Travel expenses from Gaza to Egypt are $5,000
</div>
<div>Rent and other supplies so we can get work and manage our affairs in Egypt. $10,000
</div>
<div>Immediate assistance to the family in Gaza: $5,000
</div>
<div>GofundMe fees:2500$
</div>
<div><br />
