<div>Hello everyone, my name is Coty Auld. I am 27 and I am from the United States, located in Florida. I am organizing this fundraiser for <strong>Ahmad Al-Dalu from Gaza</strong>. He is a 20-year-old photojournalist from Gaza who studies Media and Communication. Sadly, due to the constant bombing in Gaza, Ahmad has lost his home and was left without shelter. He is trying to survive in conditions unfit for life. As the destruction and displacement continue, prices for everyday necessities and food get higher, and life becomes more difficult for Palestinians. He currently lives in a small tent and has been living this way for over a year now. <strong>Every donation, no matter how small, can provide support for Ahmad during these extremely difficult times Palestinians are facing right now!</strong>

<div>Ahmad Al-Dalu - A lens from the Heart ✨ of Gaza

</div>

<div>My name is Ahmad Mohammad Shehta Al-Dalu. I'm 20 years old, born on August 19, 2004, and I live in Gaza. I'm studying Media and Communication at university. I carry my camera in my hands - and the truth in my heart!

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Photography for me is not just a profession, but a mission.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Since the beginning of the war, my lens has become a weapon that documents the resilience, pain, and massacres committed against my people. I've captured scenes that will remain etched in memory - not because I seek fame, but because the world needs to see the truth buried beneath the rubble.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every photo I take tells the story of a martyr, a survivor, or a mother calling out to her child beneath the ruins. Every image my lens captures takes a piece of my heart.

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Behind the camera... I am human.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A simple young man who has lost so much yet still clings to the little that remains. In this war, I lost my home - it was flattened to the ground, and I was left without shelter.

</div>

<div><br />

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I now live in a small tent and have been for over a year, trying to survive in conditions unfit for life - but I hold on to hope. Despite the pain, I haven't lost my passion. I still dream of completing my education, continuing my work in photography, and telling the truth - not just to survive, but so that Gaza is never forgotten!

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Why this Campaign? 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>To continue my education,</strong>

</div>

<div>To have a chance at a dignified life,

</div>

<div>And to keep telling the truth through my camera.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Because honestly - I have nothing left but my voice and my lens.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>How can you help? 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every small donation means the world to me!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li>A step toward continuing

</li>

<li>Emotional and financial support through harsh circumstances

</li>

<li>A new hope that this world still sees... and still cares

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My final words 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I'm not asking for charity - I'm asking for a chance.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A chance to continue, a chance to build a future worthy of my dreams, a chance to witness with my camera, not just with tears. Thank you for standing with me. Thank you for believing that every image holds a soul.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This fundraiser was created to support my personal education, living costs, and access to basic needs after I lost my home during the ongoing crisis in Gaza.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I, Ahmad Al-Dalu, am the sole beneficiary of this campaign. All funds will be used to cover my tuition fees, shelter, food, and essential living expenses.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>No funds will be used for any military purposes, equipment, or political activity.

</div>
