My name is April and I am a US citizen organising this fundraiser on behalf of a friend.

My name is Mohamed Al Tawashi, and I am a software engineering student from Gaza. Along with my family, I have endured the devastating impact of war and economic hardship. Through hard work and determination, I earned a scholarship for my academic excellence, but the destruction of schools and universities in Gaza has robbed me of my right to education.

The ongoing blockade and challenging living conditions have also made it impossible for me to find stable work to support my family. My dream is to leave Gaza with my family, ensuring a safe environment where I can continue my education and provide a better future for us all.

I am reaching out for your support to help me and my family overcome these challenges and pursue our dreams. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference in our lives. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
