Introduction
My name is Abdulaziz. I am 16 years old. I used to be a diligent student, full of dreams. I dreamed of completing my education, earning my academic certificates, attending university, and building a better future for myself and my family. I believed in the power of learning to change lives.
But the war changed everything.
My Struggle
I lost my beloved father, the man who supported and protected us. Our home, filled with memories and safety, was destroyed. My school, the place where I felt hope and purpose, collapsed. From that moment on, I was no longer just a student. I became the one responsible for my family.
Every day now, instead of going to school, I search for water, firewood, and food. I carry burdens far too heavy for someone my age. My family is facing deep financial hardship, and education feels far away. But I have not given up.
My Hope
Even through all the pain, I still believe in my dream. I believe that education can lift me out of this life and give me the tools to support my family, rebuild what we lost, and become someone who makes a difference. I want to return to the classroom. I want to pick up my pen again and write a better future with my own hands.
My Goals:
- I want to go back to school and finish my education.
- I want to help my family rise above these difficult times.
- I want to build a future where I am strong, educated, and independent.
- I want to prove that even in the middle of war, dreams can survive.
How You Can Help
Your support can bring me back to school. A small donation can provide school supplies, clothing, food, or shelter. It can help my family breathe a little easier. It can give me the chance to learn again, to grow, and to believe in tomorrow.
Please consider donating today. Help me return to school. Help me turn pain into purpose, and loss into learning. Help me rebuild my life, one book, one lesson, one dream at a time.
