Empower Students from Gaza to Thrive at Guilford
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Walid Mosarsaa, and I am an MBA student at Guilford College. We are launching this GoFundMe campaign to support two graduate students from Gaza who have recently arrived at Guilford. Forced to leave their home under heartbreaking circumstances, they come to us having lost nearly everything, carrying only the hope for a brighter future. Starting over is incredibly challenging, but with the support of our community, we can make their transition a little easier.
Why We Need Your Help
Adjusting to life in a new country is challenging enough, but doing so after losing nearly everything requires a community's care and support. Our goal is to raise at least $20,000 to help cover the various costs that will allow these students to thrive during their time at Guilford:
- Health Insurance: Ensuring they have access to necessary healthcare.
- Living Stipends: Covering daily expenses so they can focus on their studies.
- Support for Their Families: Sending money to their families back in Gaza, who continue to face the brutal violence of the situation, to help ensure their survival.
- Unexpected Expenses: Providing a safety net for any unforeseen challenges that may arise.
- Transportation: Assisting in purchasing a car to help with mobility, making it easier for them to attend classes, internships, and community events.
Additional Ways to Support
In addition to this GoFundMe, we have also created an in-kind donation registry on SoKindRegistry, where you can contribute items to help furnish their new home and provide for their basic needs. From household essentials to academic supplies, every contribution will help make their transition a little easier and more comfortable. Most items can be secondhand, so don’t hesitate to give what you can.
