UPDATE: this was previously a fundraiser for Roaa and her family. Due to your donations and us here in Australia being able to support them, the funds are now being raised for Roaa to continue her dream of becoming a doctor - look below for more details.

My name is Leo Sharaf, I live in Sydney Australia. I’ve created this on behalf of my cousin, Roaa who has endured displacement and severe hardship. Here’s what she would like you to know:

My name is Roaa Sharaf, a dedicated medical student at Al-Azhar University in Gaza. I am seeking support to overcome significant obstacles that are currently hindering my ability to continue my medical education.

The challenging conditions in Gaza make it extremely difficult to pursue my studies effectively. I am currently unable to cover my university tuition fees. Furthermore, access to the basic tools required for modern learning is severely limited. I lack consistent electricity to charge my devices, a stable internet connection for research and online materials, and a personal laptop for my coursework.

Your support would directly fund my tuition and allow me to purchase the essential resources needed to continue my education. Every contribution is a crucial step that helps me stay on the path to becoming a doctor and serving my community in the future. Thank you for your consideration.
