Someone Believed in Me
Ali Al-Mustafa, 17
My name is Ali and I am in my last year of highschool. I first came to Italy when I was 13, leaving my beautiful home in Damascus, Syria. Being in Rome has been an adjustment beyond belief, but with proper guidence I have found my path slowly.
Refugee Support
Education has always been important to me, but after displacement, it felt fragile. Financial stress made learning harder, and sometimes it felt like giving up would be easier.
The support I received through Loops of Hope changed everything. Having the tools I needed allowed me to focus on my studies and plan for my future. I’m now continuing my education with clear goals and renewed hope.
Knowing that students and volunteers cared enough to support me reminded me that I am not alone. Loop of Hope helped me believe in myself again.
“Life has taught me to be proud of who I have evolved into, and my education is something I give great credit to.”
