Support Alzahraa's dream of becoming a live doctor

Imagine opening your eyes to the destruction of missiles, only to discover that you are now without parents. Alzahraa Alkurd, a 19-year-old Palestinian girl, faces this harsh reality due to the Israeli bombing of Gaza.

On the morning of October 11, 2023, an Israeli airstrike targeted the house where Alzahraa and her family sought refuge after their neighborhood had previously been destroyed, leading to the loss of her mother. A week later, also her father passed away due to the severe injuries he suffered during the same airstrike. In only 96 days, the Alkurd family tragically lost over 200 members.

Before the war, Alzahraa enjoyed a relatively comfortable life in a large family filled with joy and support in a warm house by the sea. In the embrace of this family, Alzahraa graduated from high school as one of the top students nationwide. Her dream was to become a doctor with the support of her father, who funded her expensive education at Al-Azhar University in Gaza. She excelled in her first year, managing her personal expenses through the "Rozko" project, caring for flowers and shade trees.

Now, after losing her parents (her primary emotional and financial supporters) and her family house as well as her university destroyed due to the war, Alzahraa faces an uncertain future. Although she has been accepted to Cairo University in Egypt, continuing her medical journey seems impossible without the support of her parents. She urgently seeks assistance in covering tuition fees and living expenses.

The annual tuition for the Medicine program at Cairo University is $4,000 for Palestinian students, with a study duration of up to six years. Additionally, living expenses are estimated at around $300 monthly. This is why the total fundraising goal is $45,600.

Alzahraa aspires to play her role in influencing and bringing change, saving innocent civilians who are victims of wars and crises in Palestine and around the world. However, achieving this dream is not possible without your support. This is the last chance to rescue what remains of Alzahraa's hopes.
