I am a university student from Gaza, and I am the sole provider for my family of 8 members.
My father is very sick and unable to work. We live in a rented house and face the threat of eviction every month because we cannot afford the rent. We have no source of income.
My only dream is to complete my university education, but it has become a heavy burden. I cannot afford my university fees, nor my books, nor even the internet connection I need to attend my lectures. I often study by candlelight while preparing for my exams, while my family is starving.
When I go to university, I cannot concentrate. I keep thinking: Will my eight siblings find something to eat when I return home? Should I buy my father's medicine today or pay part of the rent? How can I focus on my future while we are struggling to survive today?
I do not want to drop out of school. My education is the only hope to save my family from this poverty, but without your help, I may be forced to leave university to look for any job to feed my family.
Please help me stay in university and keep my family alive.
