I am Lina Mustafa Al-Khalidi, a 20-year-old Palestinian originally from Gaza.

Before the war, I lived in Hebron with my mother, working hard and dreaming of a better future through education. During the war, our family home in Gaza was destroyed, and like many Palestinian families, we have faced immense emotional and financial hardship.

Despite these challenges, I never gave up on my dream of studying Business in the United Kingdom. With the support of my friend Fatima Ahmad Al-Khatib, who lives in Hull, England, I applied to university and was thrilled to receive an offer to study there.

Unfortunately, the cost of tuition is £20,000 per year, making higher education impossible for me without support. My family has lost so much and cannot afford these fees.

I am asking you to sign this petition to help raise awareness of my situation and support my opportunity to access higher education. Education is not just a personal dream—it is a chance to build a future, support my family, and one day give back to my community.

By signing and sharing this petition, you are helping amplify my voice and showing that young people affected by conflict deserve access to education and hope for a better future.

Thank you for standing with me and helping me keep my dream alive.

Please sign and share this petition, and if you are able to support my fundraiser, please visit: Gofundme for Lina

From my heart, thank you for your kindness and support.
