Last week, Lilly recorded a short video from Gaza.
Not to shock. Not to beg.
Just to tell the truth.
Please watch before reading.
They were meant to be at their desk drawing, sketching, building the next chapter of their work.
Instead, their days are spent searching for what remains under rubble, wiping dust from the fragments of a life interrupted by war.
Their words land hard because they are simple.
War does not only destroy buildings.
It steals time, energy, and dreams.
And still, they say this
“I am still here. And one day, I will create again.”
This fundraiser exists for that sentence.
Your support through Trans Asylias is doing real work right now
• emergency living assistance and essential needs
• access to education, training, and professional development abroad
• legal and administrative pathways to protection and relocation
• the continuation of artistic and cultural production under crisis conditions
• protection of an artist’s future before visibility becomes danger
Every contribution keeps creation alive where disappearance is a real risk.
With your help and the work of Trans Asylias, Lilly could one day stand in a Western fashion capital as the radiant face of a fashion born from the vision and the hands of a Palestinian designer.

We are closer than ever to securing a pathway to freedom in Europe for Lilly, a gifted young fashion designer from Gaza.
Our next steps are critical and time-sensitive:
1. Admission Secured: Lilly has been accepted into a prestigious fashion design school in Europe, a life-changing opportunity representing both safety and creative rebirth.
2. Extraction Mission Next Week: A Trans Asylias ambassador will travel to the Middle East to coordinate the extraction plan from Gaza and meet with the local Consul of the European country where we aim to relocate Lilly.
3. Tools for Testimony: We will provide Lilly with an iPhone and essential equipment to document the current reality in Gaza, the destruction, resilience, and daily struggle, and to chronicle their entire journey to freedom, through a transit country, until the day they reach their final destination and begin studying at the fashion design school in Europe.
4. Rebuilding Creativity: After losing everything when Gaza City was destroyed, Lilly will receive design, pattern-making, and sewing supplies to begin creating again, both inside Gaza and during the journey toward safety.
💜 We urgently need funds now to cover the travel and coordination costs of this extraction mission, as well as the supplies we are sending to Lilly, tools, materials, and essentials that will allow them to document, create, and rebuild.
Every donation, no matter how small, will contribute to Lilly’s path to safety and freedom.
Together, we can help one artist rise from the rubble and show that compassion is stronger than war.
👉 Donate now to support Lilly’s evacuation and journey to freedom.
