Hello everyone, I am Kelly, and I am assisting Lena with her gofundme account. I will be assisting in transferring her donations via my personal bank to her e-wallet with the Phantom app. Once transferred, the donations will be sent to Lena's aunt and she will assist with the evacuation of Lena and her family of 11 members.

The following is a passage gwas written by Lena:

"Help Lena & her family to rebuild their life 

To the outside world that lives in safety and in peace, to those who continue to strive to achieve their dreams. Welcome, I'm Lena. I was planning to finish school to join university. My older brother, Mohammed, was starting his journey to engineering college, and my sister, Eman, a third year medical student . My siblings Rawad, Layan, Lojain, Abdulrahman, and Amir, all had dreams as any child in the world. Despite my father's battle with cancer, he worked hard to support us. We lived peacefully, each of us with our dreams and hopes. But on the seventh of October, our lives turned upside down in the blink of an eye. Now, our only dream is to stay safe away from war, bombing, and destruction. Two days after the war began, due to our house being on the border, and fearing we'd be under rubble at any moment, we decided to flee to the south.




Unfortunately, the situation wasn't safe anywhere in Gaza. On 8 Dec, we learned that our house had been bombed and was no longer inhabitable. Due to soaring prices, we began spending the money we had saved for university , everything here is at least 5 times more expensive than normal and With the realization that our father couldn't work as before due to his illness. My older brothers and I decided to apply for scholarships that could cover our Educational fees. We tried to apply for many many scholarships we could find, hoping for a dim light amid the darkness the war had brought upon us, but our attempts failed because of the poor internet connection if it's available and the need for some tests that we're unable to cover their cash costs, such as IELTS or TOEFL test and ACT or SAT test. And during our attempts to save our future, specifically, on February 14th, 2024, my ten-year-old brother was critically injured while buying groceries due to the lack of security."

Please join me in helping her family escape this genocide and give them the chance to enjoy their lives and pursue their dreams.

Thank you ALL.
