<div><strong>My Story</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Raed, I grew up in Balata Refugee Camp, facing the challenges of overcrowding and limited resources. Despite these hardships we had a strong sense of community fostered resilience and hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/83589539_1729671146463271_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After my sister died, I prioritised my family’s needs over my own dreams of studying abroad and provided financial and emotional support. Eventually, I completed a bachelor’s degree in international relations while working multiple jobs to support my family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/83589539_1729703433439207_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After graduation, I became a personal trainer, empowering others to achieve their fitness goals.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last year I had a transformative experience at a leadership program in Italy which further broadened my horizons and reignited my passion for education and leadership. It was the first time in my life not living under occupation, with a constant threat of violence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/83589539_1729670822324051_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since then, while Israel has been committing an ongoing genocide in Gaza, the West Bank has suffered a serious escalation of settler and military violence against Palestinian communities like mine. I am dreaming of a world beyond the camp, where I can gain knowledge and build something for myself that will help uplift my community.
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>Funding</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks to the generosity of people donating through GoFundMe I have managed to get to Spain where I enrolled in language school. I arrived in January and I have a visa until September.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to continue my studies at the University of Granada, where I've been accepted on their masters in Culture of Peace, Conflicts, Education and Rights.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Course fees: 1000€
</div>
<div>Savings needed to get a visa: 8400€
</div>
<div>Health insurance: 500€
</div>
<div>Lawyer services: 300€
</div>
<div>Textbooks: 100€
</div>
<div>Residence card renewal fees 50€
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My main barrier is raising enough funds to pay for the course, without it I will not be able to stay in Spain and will likely have to go back to Palestine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help me raise enough funds to continue my education in Spain and remain in a safe place.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I truly believe that education is not just a personal dream, but a powerful tool to support my community, Now, being in Spain is the first time I have lived outside a war zone. It’s the first time I’ve been able to walk safely down the street. Studying here gives me the chance not only to grow personally, but to build a future where I can help others through social work, volunteering, and advocacy. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to completing my education and staying in a place where I can live, study, and thrive in peace.
