From Lawyer to Homeless Father: Abdullah’s Plea for Survival


Hi! My name is Maggie Tarbox. I am a retired teacher from Connecticut USA. Abdullah Khaled and his family have become very dear to my heart. I never cease to be amazed by the resilience of the Palestinian people in Gaza. Abdullah has lost his home and has been displaced multiple times. All he wants is to keep his family safe during the unimaginable horror of this genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Please help if you can. I know we're all working hard to influence our leaders in the USA to take action, but that is not happening. Please read Abdullah's story below and continue to contact your representatives and senators. Feel free to contact me for more information.

Abdullah's Story

"I was a lawyer. Now, I’m just trying to feed my family."

Abdullah once lived a dignified life in Jabalia, northern Gaza — a father, a husband, and a lawyer with his own office and home. But since the war began on October 7, 2023, everything has been torn apart.

️ Home Reduced to Nothing

Abdullah’s house, once partially damaged, has now been completely destroyed by bombing. Nothing remains — no walls, no roof, no belongings. His law office was also reduced to rubble, leaving him with no source of income, no safety, and no stability.

He, his wife, and their two young children now live entirely without shelter, forced to depend on tents and makeshift coverings, constantly displaced and vulnerable to the scorching heat, freezing nights, and unrelenting airstrikes.

Abdullah has lost his home, his office, his livelihood, and many loved ones — but he refuses to give up hope for his children.

Please, donate today to help Abdullah rebuild dignity and survival for his family. If you cannot give, kindly share this campaign so his story reaches more hearts.

Together, we can stand with Abdullah in his darkest hour.

‍‍‍ A Family of Four on the Edge

‍ Once a practicing attorney, now jobless and homeless

️ No shelter or safe place to stay

Children suffering from severe malnutrition

No food, no clean water, no income

Lost beloved relatives in the war — an uncle, an aunt, a cousin, and many dear friends



A Message from Abdullah:

"I used to provide legal aid to others. Now, I can’t even provide a loaf of bread to my children.
They’ve lost their right to food, to education, to safety… to life itself.
But I still believe in kindness.
Please help us survive."
