Hello everyone, My name is Abdulrahman. I'm a software developer from Gaza, Palestine, a father of two, and the sole provider for my mother. I have more than 8 years of experience in Python, and I spent over 3 years training students and managing a charitable project, Qubit Coding Center. Then the war began, and it taught me what responsibility really means. Through displacement I moved between many places and tents. I tried to leave the country but couldn't. In April of this year, I lost my business to the bombing, and I returned to my first field, programming. I founded a startup called "Fasil", which applies solid, well-established methods of dialogue and reasoning to how AI systems think. I've built two products so far: - Sijal: an inferential decision engine for organizations - Saql: a debate analysis engine Both work today, but only as early-stage products. Because of the lack of support in our region, they're currently on hold. I try to push them forward from time to time, but the weight of life and debt keeps defeating every attempt. My debts now exceed $20,000. I faced jail time because of them, and I was forced to sell everything I owned. I've reached the point where I struggle to find food for my children. I hesitated a long time before writing this, because I've always found a way to earn money myself. But right now, I feel I can't keep going on my own. I'm not asking for success at this moment. I only want to clear the path toward it. What I need is help, direct or indirect, to pay off my debts, even if that means giving up one of my apps. If any of you can help me set up a GoFundMe (or a similar platform) and tell my story in a way that reaches people who can help, I would be deeply grateful. I apologize for the long post, and thank you all from my heart.   submitted by   /u/RhubarbFlat6247 [link]   [comments]
