<div>Julia Ramadan was a 28 year old university graduate with degrees in Psychology from Lebanese University and Public Relations from Lebanese International University. She became a social activist in her home of Saida, Lebanon, under the name "Julia's Fist". These efforts focused on supporting people in need of finding home and shelter. In August of 2024, the Lebanese-Israeli crisis widened, and Julia pivoted her activism toward supporting those immediately impacted by the war.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tragically in September 2024, Julia and her family became directly impacted by the war. Julia along with her mother lost their lives when the building they lived in was targeted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the wake of this tragic loss, Julia's brother Achraf is now carrying on her legacy, and this GoFundMe is intended to support those goals in her memory. Julia's Fist is committed to continuing her humanitarian journey, just as she always did helping the displaced and needy people in the city of Sidon. This was her heart’s desire and now it is ours to carry forward, driven by the love and passion she showed every day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Julia's works are immortal within us. Though she was tragically taken from us, her spirit, her dedication, and her love for humanity will never fade. Julia was a beacon of light in the lives of many, offering her time, energy, and love to those in need. Even though she was martyred, her memory lives on in every life she touched, and in every act of kindness we continue to spread in her name.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we need your help to make this possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In Julia's name, we are seeking your financial and moral support. Every dollar you can contribute will go toward providing vital aid to the displaced in our beloved city Sidon, just as Julia would have done.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please, if you are able to donate—even if it is just one dollar—Julia's Fist and the people impacted by these donations will be forever grateful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stay connected with us and follow Julia’s journey on Instagram: @julias_fist.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let us continue Julia's work and keep her memory alive. Thank you for your generosity and support.
