Helping Razan escape the war and complete her educ

Donation protected
Hello everyone I am Razan basem Ahmed ,22years old ,I live in Gaza with my family of 10 members. Day205 ,and I had hope that the war would end, but it is still continuing, so l decided to write my story. I was a fifth_year medical student ,l didn't have much left to graduate. I was dreaming of the time when he would become a doctor and I counted it in days. suddenly, everything was destroyed because of the occupation (my life, future, house,university,books,studies,clothes, my dreams),We have nothing left. My dream was to become an oncologist and be able to treat all oncology patients. 8 years ago, my mother had breast cancer and was suffering greatly from the disease. I could not bear to see her in this condition and her constant fatigue. From that moment on, I was determined to be a successful oncologist capable of finding a cure for cancer patients and treating them. I have had a high skill in memorization since childhood, and everyone attests to this. I have never missed any competition on my own. I love medicine and studying it. I love studying above anything else, and I hope to continue my education and become one of the most successful doctors. I was live with my grand mother since l was child ,Because my mother was a university student and I was my firstborn twin, so my grandmother wanted to take me and from that day on I have been living with her and being with my family on holidays.My grandmother, aunts, and I left the house on the tenth day of the war to go to my parents’ house in Khan Yunis in the middle of the night, our hous was bombed and I did not take anything with me. ON the fifty day,we left again to My aunt’s husband’s relatives’ house is in Yabna camp in Rafah, and it was not a safe area, but we did not find any other place.The house of my family destroyed, and they martyred the people of the house in which we are in the first floor and we are on the second floor due to the bombing of the house next to us. Our last displacement, I escaped death twice as I was sleeping under the window of the room, and suddenly there was a belt of fire over the area in preparation for the tanks to come, and all the glass and stones fell on me. Thank God, I was sleeping with a heavy blanket that saved my life. Suddenly we heard the sound of the tanks, and they were loud, their sound was very terrifying. I could imagine that it was that terrifying and that it looked like this from up close. We couldn’t what to do. It was 12 o’clock in the middle of the night. The little ones were shaking in fear and we left the house without anything with us before they came and besieged us and imprisoned our young brothers. We did not know how to escape and my grandmother could not walk. My brother and I carried her and ran. With my aunts and family, amidst Quadcopter planes, shelling, shrapnel, and people crying from everywhere, we continued running until we reached a place far from tanks until daylight. We are now in an unfinished apartment on the main roads of Rafah. We took the apartment for 2,000 shekels, and it was not finished, and we spent 2,600 shekels to complete it (bathroom, and nylons windows, doors). Air and rain enter from all angles. My grandmother's health deteriorated during the war, and there are some missing medicines(valzadepine,carbamazepine,insulin ,loratidine ) that are not available in Gaza ,my family can't take me and my grandmam's out and take care of my studies and health ,we thought about leaving Gaza , me and her to continue my education ,but travel and medical costs are high ,and In this situation, We pay whatever we have to provide today's food. Today is the 205th day, and our situation is more difficult and worse. We can't pay rent every month. We do not have any source of income to support ourselves. There is no cash flow for us. There are no salaries. The daily price of food exceeds $300. We had no choice but to move to a tent and set it up on the roads of Rafah.Where the occupation claims to be safe, they forced us to evacuate many times that we cannot count, and yet they bomb us in these safe places. I did not imagine that I would live in a tent in the midst of such horror, heat, insects (scorpions, mice, ants, flies), poor sanitation, and destructive sand. I cry about our situation and how they are trying to kill us in all hideous ways. I hope that you will help me leave Gaza and register in Egyptian universities (Ain Shams University) and that you will help me live a decent life away from murder, blood, horror and fear. I spoke for a long time, but because of the burning feeling, I only want you to help me continue on my path and complete my dream , which is almost over . Thank you to everyone who read my story❤️ I feel embarrassed to ask for something like this, but I need it so much. I want to go to Egypt. I want to complete my education and have a house to live in. In order for me to be able to leave Gaza, l need $6,000. The apartment rent is $500.
