Using digital art to get a better life.

I live in Syria and digital art is my only way to earn money to build a better life for myself, my sons and the people around me.

I have two milestones.
The first milestone is to raise $8.000 to be able to get out of Syria by May 25th, 2023. (Update: the first milestone has been successfully achieved).
The second milestone is to raise $12.000 more to be able to get out with my sons. This amount refers to visas and travel.

    My Story

    I am Poorweb, a digital artist living in Syria.My real name is Eissa, I am 26 y.o. and I live outside Aleppo.
    I have been living most of my life with the war in my country.    During the war, I lost both my parents and my three brothers.
    I was a father of 3, but I lost my son Moses in March 2023 because there was no money for his treatment.
    I have 2 children left, Youssef and Farouk.    I am a single father. I am the one who takes care of my children. When I go to the army, they will be alone.I now have to collect at least $20.000 to get out of Syria with my sons to get a better life.My monthly salary is approximately $25, enough to buy 5kg of bulgur and 1kg of oil. For 4 years my daily diet is bulgur and oil.

    Digital art

    My relationship with art began when I decided to reveal the suffering of the Syrian people through art.Thanks to AI artwork, I have been able to provide 110 pillows, 110 food baskets, and 110 blankets.I started photographing everything I saw, because everything here is a tragedy – the slow death of families and children. Augmenting my image with AI and to send a message to the world the extent of the suffering of the Syrian people.You can find me on Twitter here twitter.com/poorweb

    FAQ

    What will happen if you can't get the money by May 2023?
    I will have to join the Syrian army and spend the next 9 years away from my sons.

    How do you get the money?

    I will use the money to get out of Syria with my sons.

    Where did you get the money to make a website, buy a domain, etc.?I didn't pay for the website. I have friends in the NFT and startup community that helped me get this website up and running.
