After Years in Detention, A Father Faces the Threat of Homelessness

Despite everything he has endured, Uncle Abu Ahmad is still trying to prove that life did not end in prison. A father of six, he now lives with his family in an old, worn-down house that they are at risk of being evicted from. During the years of his detention, his relatives paid large sums of money in desperate attempts to secure his release. He finally walked out of prison, but returned to a life with no home and no safe shelter. His health is fragile: he suffers from heart disease, fractured ribs, and nerve problems. Even so, he continues to work as a day laborer whenever he can, pushing his body beyond its limits just to put food on the table for his children. But the debts from his medical treatment keep growing, and with the cold of winter fast approaching, the family stands on the edge of uncertainty, not knowing where they will go or how they will survive. Your support today can help protect this family from homelessness, ease their medical burdens, and give Abu Ahmad and his children a chance to breathe again.
