From a Tent in Gaza to the University of Leicester — Help Me Start Again

Can $10 really change someone’s life.
For me… it truly can.

My name is Yasser. I’m 21 years old, a student from Gaza who has held onto one dream through everything:
to study Computer Science and rebuild a future that war tried to erase.

Three years ago, my life was simple.
I studied, planned my goals, and believed that hard work would shape my tomorrow.
Then the war came… and everything changed.

I didn’t just lose my home.
I lost safety, stability, and every piece of normal life I once knew.
Today, I live in a tent — a place no student should ever have to call “home.”

A tent that doesn’t stop the cold.
A tent that shakes with every wind.
A tent with no stable electricity, no reliable internet, and no quiet corner to study.
But even in these conditions… I refused to give up.

I studied under the dim light of a phone.
I memorized lessons through noise, fear, and uncertainty.
Every night was a battle — but determination kept me going.

And somehow… I made it.
I was accepted into several UK universities, including the one that means the most to me:
The University of Leicester.

For me, this isn’t just an academic opportunity.
It is a chance to start again.
A chance to rebuild my life from the ground up.
A chance to finally step out of survival mode.

But one obstacle stands in the way…
💔 The cost.

Tuition and living expenses total £25,000 — an amount impossible for me to afford after losing my home and every source of income.

I’m not asking for luxury.
I’m asking for a chance:
A chance to study,
A chance to build a future,
A chance to escape a life of displacement.

❤️ How your support helps:
$10 = One day of basic needs
$50 = About a week of stability
$100 = A real step toward starting my education

War took my home, my belongings, and my sense of safety —
but it did not take my education.
And I refuse to let it take my future.

Every donation matters.
And if you cannot donate, sharing my story might reach someone who can.

I am not asking for pity.
I am asking for a chance.

Thank you 🤍

An Important Update for Our Valued Supporters

Dear valued supporters,

For organizational and administrative purposes, we have discontinued the original campaign and launched a new campaign to continue the same fundraising efforts. The new campaign is a continuation of the original one, and all future contributions and related activities will be managed through it.

New campaign: http://spot.fund/812pp9zsc

We have also received several thoughtful questions from you, and we would like to briefly clarify a few important points to reassure you that you are in the right place.

We greatly value honesty, transparency, friendship, and integrity.

Who is Hytham?
I am a close and trusted person in Yasser’s life, the final beneficiary of the campaign. The campaign is organized by Aily, while I help actively monitor the process and verify that the funds reach Yasser.

How can you contact Yasser?
You can contact Yasser directly through his Instagram: Click here

We warmly encourage you to connect with Yasser, your future colleague, and support him in achieving his dream.

Has Yasser taken the necessary steps toward his goal?
Yes. Yasser has successfully completed the university admission process and passed his English language test with a B2 level.

Has he applied for financial support?
Yes. Yasser has applied for an international student tuition fee waiver, and his application is currently pending. Receiving this support would greatly help him build a more stable and manageable life while studying in the United Kingdom.

Finally, we are fully open to cooperating with UK-based organizations or humanitarian and human rights organizations that may be able to support Yasser’s journey.

Anyone willing and able to help is warmly welcome to contact Yasser directly.

Thank you for your continued trust, support, and kindness.

With sincere appreciation,
Hytham

We extend our sincere gratitude for your kindness and for taking the time to read Yasser’s story. Your support has given him strength during one of the most difficult chapters of his life, and it continues to be a source of hope as he works toward rebuilding his future.

Yasser’s acceptance to the University of Leicester represents more than an academic opportunity — it is his chance to start again after losing everything. Every act of support, no matter how small, brings him one step closer to leaving displacement behind and beginning his education.

Thank you for standing with him, for believing in his dream, and for helping keep hope alive. Your generosity truly makes a difference.
