<div>I am Tala, the middle daughter in my family of 11 people. I'm 22 years old and I'm trying to keep myself and my dreams alive. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before the war, I was studying information technology at Al-Azhar University. I worked hard and got high grades, and I loved spending time with my friends and enjoying life, like any other young person in any other country. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, it's all about survival. If the war does not kill me, then the killing of my dreams will kill me. Can you help me to survive the destruction, the hardship and the heartache? My university was bombed, beloved friends have been killed, and the streets and homes I loved have been destroyed. I want to leave Gaza for a safer country where I can study at university, graduate, and be proud of myself, but first I need to survive the day. Please don't let me turn into another victim of war.

<div><em>I'm Laura, from Edinburgh in Scotland, and I'm helping my talented friend Tala Darwish, from Deir al-Balah in Gaza. She is raising funds to survive the current situation but ultimately she would like to leave Gaza and continue her studies at a good university in a safe country. I transfer all of your donations directly to Tala's Palestinian bank account. </em>
