<div>My name is Lian, and I am a high school student in Gaza.
</div>
<div>Before the war, I lived a life full of joy and ambition. I was a diligent student with dreams of continuing my education and building a meaningful future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By now, I should have been in my second year of university, pursuing my dreams like many other girls my age. But instead, I remain a Tawjihi student, the final year of high school. I lost two precious years of my life to war, displacement, and pain, years that were meant to shape my future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The war has taken so much from me. I lost my father before my very eyes, I watched him bleed to death while I stood helpless, losing not only him but also a part of my soul.
</div>
<div>I lost my grandparents, who once gave me warmth and wisdom. I lost my little nephews, whose laughter used to bring joy to our home. With each loss, I lost a piece of myself, my childhood, my innocence, my health. I became weaker, thinner, and weighed down by grief and the burden of survival.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Displacement has made everything harder.
</div>
<div>We were forced to flee our home, moving from place to place with nothing but what we could carry.
</div>
<div>There is no safety, no stability, and the cost of basic needs like food, medicine, and rent has become unbearable.
</div>
<div>My family can no longer manage on their own.
</div>
<div>I now live with my mother and little brother.
</div>
<div>We have no provider.
</div>
<div>My mother is broken by grief, and my younger brother l, who should be playing and learning faces a future full of uncertainty. Every day, I fight not just to survive, but to keep the light of education alive within me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even my dog, our only companion, is suffering deeply. Constant displacement, noise, fear, and hunger have left him anxious and traumatized. He won’t stop barking unless I’m beside him. I long to provide him with the most basic care, even just his dry food, so I can feel I’m doing something for him amid all this loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Still, I refuse to give up. I dream of continuing my education, supporting my family, and rebuilding a life with dignity and hope. But I cannot do it alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will help me:
</div>
<div>- Provide for my grieving mother and young brother,
</div>
<div>- Cover the unbearable costs of rent, food, and daily needs during our displacement,
</div>
<div>- Pay for my education so I don’t lose more years of my life,
</div>
<div>- Care for my dog, who is also a victim of this war,
</div>
<div>- Restore a sense of stability and hope for what’s left of my family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution, no matter how small, is a light in the darkness. Your kindness can open a door to hope a chance to survive, to dream, and to feel human again.
</div>
<div>I invite you to be part of my story, to help me reclaim what war and displacement have stolen. With your support, I can stand again for myself, my family, and for a future I still believe in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lian
</div>
