Help a 72-Year-Old Father Rebuild His Gaza Home
My father, Fadel Mohammad Alfarra, is over 72 years old.
He is a devoted husband, a loving father of 7 sons and 4 daughters, and a proud grandfather to 25 grandchildren.
Throughout his life, Fadel was a hardworking man and a university professor who believed deeply in education, dignity, and family. With years of effort, sacrifice, and honest work, he slowly built a four-story family home in Gaza. His dream was simple and noble: to ensure that each of his children had a safe place to live.
Over the years, he built seven small apartments, one for each of his sons, along with a larger family home where generations gathered under one roof.
That dream was completely destroyed by the war.
The home that once sheltered an entire family is now rubble. Today, my father, his wife, their children, and grandchildren are displaced and homeless, forced to live in fragile tents that offer no protection from the cold of winter or the extreme heat of summer. There is a complete lack of basic living conditions, privacy, and safety. The situation is deeply inhumane.
My mother, 65 years old, is a devoted woman who spent her life sacrificing everything for her family. She now suffers from chronic health conditions, including high blood pressure and thyroid disease, while enduring these extremely harsh living conditions with almost no medical support.
Although my father’s children are educated and working people, the scale of destruction and the ongoing crisis make it impossible for the family to rebuild on their own. An entire extended family — parents, children, and 25 grandchildren — has been left without shelter.
This campaign is a humble request for help to rebuild my father’s home and restore a minimum level of dignity, safety, and stability to an elderly man and his family who have already lost so much.
Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to rebuilding not just a house, but hope, security, and humanity.
Thank you for standing with my family in this time of unimaginable hardship.
