A Dream Shattered by War: Help Ahmad Rebuild His Future
Donation protected
In Gaza City, where the sound of explosions replaces that of school bells, a young man named Ahmad Alhayek once dreamed of becoming an engineer. His path was clear — study, work hard, and one day provide stability for his family who struggled with an unsteady income. Ahmad, a talented and ambitious student, had already completed two years of engineering in electrical and smart systems at the Islamic University of Gaza. He was filled with hope and determination to finish his third year, pushing closer to his goal of creating a better future for his loved ones.
But that future was cruelly taken from him.
Since October 2023, war has torn through Gaza with an unrelenting ferocity. Ahmad's home has been damaged, his city ravaged, and the very universities that once held his dreams have been reduced to rubble. The Islamic University, where Ahmad dedicated his time and energy to becoming an engineer, was among those destroyed. The dreams he had fought so hard for were lost in an instant, crushed beneath the weight of destruction.
Now, Ahmad is trapped in Gaza. His education — his key to a brighter future — has been stolen by the ongoing war. Even if he survives the violence, it could take years, perhaps even decades, for the universities to be rebuilt. Ahmad doesn't have that time. He fears the years of hard work will slip away, and with them, his dreams of lifting his family out of hardship.
But there is still hope.
Ahmad's aunt, Farida Alhayek, is determined to help him ecacuate Gaza and rebuild his future. She is fighting to give him a second chance at life, a chance to complete his education in Egypt, where safety and opportunity await. However, this path requires immense resources. To escape Gaza and secure his education, Ahmad needs $50,000 — a seemingly impossible sum in a time of such uncertainty.
This fund will cover the cost of Ahmad's escape to Egypt, his tuition fees, and the essentials needed to help him survive and study. Any amount, no matter how small, will help bring Ahmad closer to safety, closer to education, and closer to the future he so desperately deserves.
This is more than just a plea for money; it is a cry for help for a young man whose dreams were shattered by war, but whose spirit remains unbroken. In a world of chaos, Ahmad still believes in hope — and with your support, he can reclaim the future that was stolen from him.
Please, stand with Ahmad in this time of crisis. Help him escape the horrors of war and give him the chance to complete his education, to become the engineer he was meant to be, and to provide a future for his family.
