My Travel Story

Life has been incredibly tough for me and my family. As the firstborn, I have always felt a deep responsibility to take care of my loved ones. But after my parents lost everything to fraud—their business, our only source of income—we have been left struggling to survive.

Every day, I work multiple shifts just to earn $50, barely enough to feed my two younger sisters. I fight to keep them in school, and I dream of helping my parents rebuild their lives by setting up a business for them. At the same time, I have a passion for creating travel content on YouTube, but without the right equipment, my dream remains out of reach.

But right now, none of this matters more than one thing that weighs heavily on my heart—my grandmother's final wish. She is over 80 years old, and all she has ever wanted is to visit Mecca before she leaves this world. She has prayed for this moment her entire life, but our financial struggles make it impossible for me to grant her this wish. I don’t know how much time she has left, and it breaks me to think that she may never get this chance.

I need your help to make this happen. The cost of sending her to Mecca, including travel, accommodations, and necessary expenses, is approximately $5,000. This amount is far beyond what I can afford, but with your generosity, I believe we can make this dream a reality.

Every little contribution counts. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this message will mean the world to me. Please help me give my grandmother the gift of a lifetime—the chance to fulfill her greatest wish before it’s too late.
