Here is Bashar's story:

I have carried the dream of studying medicine since childhood, but now that my dream has become more important and my goal of studying medicine has become an unavoidable goal regarding what I saw of the dire need for doctors in my city of Gaza in this war that we are still living in until this moment. I write this letter after more than four months of bombing, destruction, starvation, and genocide to which we are subjected. I took the first steps in realizing my dream after I finished my high school and obtained a 99.6 % and ranked second in my country after struggling and studying in order to obtain a scholarship because my family isn’t able to afford my medical school costs. I registered at the Al-Azhar University majored in medicine through the scholarship of His Excellency the President, and I had started studying in September.2023, and I had only completed approximately two weeks on my dream path before this war began and the occupation bombarded my university and demolished it, as it did in all the universities of the Gaza Strip, and my dream has vanished along with it. The financial burden on my father has become unbearable , especially in light of the bad conditions caused by the war and the destruction of my house. My father may need many years to rebuild it and put everything he owns maybe. At the end, I aspire to be an extraordinary doctor in my field, in order to help the people of my city, Gaza, who are suffering from various physical disabilities , such as amputations and others, and health problems caused by the war and the killing of many, many medical teams while performing their duties in hospitals, clinics and medical facilities, which led to the collapse if the health system in the Gaza Strip, so I hope to continue my dream of studying this specialty as soon as possible.

This gofundme has been created and managed by Darina Bishop, a trusted friend to Bashar Inshasi’s older brother. I live in Australia and while in close communication with Bashar’s family, I am a vocal advocate for Palestine. The target donation amount of this gofundme is now $100k Australian dollars equalling to around $66k US dollars. To enter Egypt from Rafah, it will cost $10k US dollars alone. $25k will be allocated to tuition fees at Bashar’s new university. The remaining approximate $31k will go towards housing, food and transportation for the duration of Bashar’s studies. Because of the complexity of Bashar’s situation, the goal has been raised to accommodate for delays in his application to a new university. Once our goal has been met, the funds will be transferred directly to Bashar. Thank you so very much for your kindness and generosity. Your support is deeply appreciated ❤️
