I’m reaching out with a heavy heart but a hopeful spirit. My name is Mahmoud, a 17-year-old from Gaza, where life has taken a devastating turn. The war has left my city in ruins, shattering dreams and hopes along the way.
But I’m not giving up. I have a chance to continue my education abroad, away from the destruction, and I need your help to make it happen. This isn’t just about me; it’s about my family, my future, and the resilience of a community that refuses to be defeated.
I’m trying to raise 15000$ CAD to cover the costs of relocating and living expenses. Every donation, every share, brings me closer to a future where I can thrive and eventually give back to those I’ve left behind.
Please consider supporting my journey. Together, we can build something beautiful out of the rubble.

carrying the evil energy of my mother in this beautiful locket i received as a child because im afraid that taking her out will do something even worse
bell hooks mentioned going through a time in her life where she was severely depressed and suicidal and how the only way she got through it was through changing her environment: She surrounded her home with buddhas of all colors, Audre Lorde’s A Litany for Survival facing her as she wakes up, and filling the space she saw everyday with reinforcing objects and meaningful books. She asks herself each day, “What are you going to do today to resist domination?” I also really liked it when she said that in order to move from pain to power, it is crucial to engage in “an active rewriting of our lives.”
