My name is Fouad Azar, and I’m the devoted son of my father, Imad Azar. This past year, he has endured immense hardships: losing an eye to cancer, a septic attack caused by radiotherapy, and a massive stroke. I’m reaching out for support to provide him with the care he needs.

For the past three years, I have been caring for my father full-time. His struggles began at the end of the pandemic when he suffered from COVID-19, followed by a mini-stroke. In the third year of caregiving, his condition worsened after developing malignant cancer of the eyelid, which led to a septic attack and eventually a massive stroke. While he is now stable, these challenges have left me with significant medical debt. I had worked tirelessly for over a year to secure a well-paying job that would allow me to manage these expenses, but due to the circumstances of the country we live in, I was unable to obtain the necessary security clearance.

This fundraiser is not for my father’s daily needs but solely to pay off the debt I’ve accumulated from caregiving services that provide the 24/7 care he requires. I believe it is my responsibility to care for him and cover these costs, but I have no other option to resolve this situation. Your support will help ensure I can continue caring for my father and move forward with stability as I work toward reestablishing financial independence.
