Help in evacuating from Gaza to regain my dreams

Donation protected
My name is Layaly and I would like to raise money on behalf of Naya and her daughter Zeina and their family.

Please read the story:
Today, I reach out to you with a heart filled with hope, and I carry with me a dream that transcends the boundaries of wars.

I'm Zeina Ahmad, a young soul at the age of sixteen, raised in a happy home with my sister Salma and brother Youssef.
Since childhood everyone tells me that I've always outperformed my classmates, so since I was 6 years old, I received training in literary writing, poetry recitation, performing arts, science, and technology in quest of my passion.
I enjoyed all fields, regardless of their differences, but I immersed myself in the world of programming and designing, finding there my spirit and passion.

Despite the challenges and difficult circumstances and my young age, I managed to build a good reputation in my community as a talented and self-taught programmer. As a result, I was approved as a member of the university students' technology club while I still being in high school.
I competed in various local and international mathematics, coding, and problem-solving challenges, where I placed highly, also I have participated in various local exhibitions, particularly with my AI projects, through which I tried improving my surroundings. I also participate in many volunteer activities.

My passion is coding, and my love is media and photography. Therefore, I worked as the youngest journalist and covered several events in Gaza, also I have a technology program that I prepare and present in cooperation with a local TV channel, which discusses the branches of technology and its impact on our lives.

I aspire to study data science and AI, learn more about cloud computing, and I hope to represent my country in international exhibitions and contests in coding.

I have many hobbies, such as reading, swimming, horse riding, skating, and cycling.

I've lately begun working on self-training in problem solving. However, the recent war has devastated everything, our schools, our beautiful home, where I spent every moment, the university where I aspired to study, and all the training institutes that had helped me develop myself.

Things seem tough, but I will persist in pursuing my dreams.

Today, I humbly ask for your financial support to help me leave Gaza, to save me and my family and so I can continue my education and programming journey. Let the war not extinguish our last dreams.

Here are some stories from Zeina's journey, turned into fiction by the war; Perhaps she won't be able to reach this dream if the situation remains as it is:

Your support will be the lifeline that enables me to continue my journey and achieve my aspirations in the world of coding.

Let me explain to you why the cost is so high. You need to pay some money to put your name on the list of passengers through the Rafah land crossing, which is our only hope of rebuilding our lives.

The cost to be listed is approximately $5,000 per person, and I have 7 family members besides myself that need our names included. We are trying to raise $62,500 that will help us cover the entire cost of travel and get us out of this war zone as quickly as possible.

The financing will be allocated for the expenses related to leaving Gaza, for myself and my family:
Permits and transit fees are $40,000
Travel expenses from Gaza to Egypt are $5,000
Rent and other supplies so we can get work and manage our affairs in Egypt. $10,000
Immediate assistance to the family in Gaza: $5,000
GofundMe fees:2500$

The people I'm trying to evacuate are:
The parents: Ahmed 42 - Naya 42
Daughter Zeina 16
Daughter Salma 12
Son Youssef 8
Naya's mother Amera 70
Naya's sister Randa 35
Naya's brother Jamal 33
