<div>My name is Lenzi, from London. Fundraising for two students in Gaza, Hala and Muhannad. Two excellent siblings who scored 92.1% and 97% in Tawjihi. Yet they may lose their chance to enter university. They need your help to fund this opportunity and save their future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is their story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our home was destroyed. We studied under bombing, in shelters, with a single candle as our only source of light. We fought for our education with everything we had, and we succeeded. But today, after surviving war and achieving distinction, one barrier still stands in our way: we cannot afford the tuition that will allow us to continue our higher education.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We hope you will read our story, because it explains why this dream cannot end here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are Hala and Mohannad, two siblings from Gaza who completed our final year of high school under the harshest circumstances imaginable. Despite losing our home and living through months of displacement, we achieved exceptional Tawjihi scores: 92.1% and 97%. For us, education is not merely a goal; it is our only path to rebuilding our future and supporting a community that has lost so much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Studying for Tawjihi in Gaza was not simply difficult; it was a battle for survival. After our home was destroyed, we carried our books into crowded shelters and tents. We studied in small corners with no silence, no privacy, and no guarantee of safety. It is impossible to describe what it means to read physics formulas while nearby explosions shake the walls, or to memorise chemistry equations while your hands tremble from fear. Without electricity, we studied by candlelight, turning its dim glow into a lifeline. Every page we read was covered in dust from the rubble.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every morning before an exam, our parents said goodbye as if it might be the last time. Their fear became our determination. We felt the responsibility of our entire family on our shoulders.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even before the war, we were always among the strongest students in our schools. One of us previously earned the Access English Language Scholarship funded by AMIDEAST, a competitive programme awarded only to high-achieving students. Throughout the school year, even after losing our savings, we spent what little remained for transportation to lessons. It was not a luxury; it was a desperate attempt to keep our future alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And against every obstacle, we succeeded. We completed Tawjihi with distinction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year, we were offered the opportunity to continue our higher education. This should have been the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. But our family lost everything, our home, our belongings, our savings. After surviving destruction, displacement, and fear, we are now held back by only one thing: money. Tuition has become the final barrier between us and the future we fought so hard to reach.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our house, once filled with books and dreams, is now a pile of ash. We did not only lose walls; we lost the quiet corner where we studied, the room where we imagined our future, and the place where we promised ourselves that hard work would lead us somewhere better. The war did not only destroy our structure; it tried to destroy our dreams too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking for help not merely to study, but to rebuild our lives and contribute meaningfully to our community. With your support, we can continue our education and turn everything we have endured into strength, purpose, and service. Our goal is to become two young people who can support their family, help their society, and rebuild this wounded homeland through knowledge and perseverance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We ask the world not to let our dream collapse at the final step. We survived the destruction. We overcame fear. We achieved academic excellence under circumstances that would break most people. Please help us take the last step toward the future we have worked so hard for.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support is chance to transform our story from one of loss into one of resilience and achievement.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading, and thank you for believing in our future.
</div>
