Help Us Defend Our Father and Brother – A Loving Family Fighting for Justice

We are the AbuGhanem family, and we are urgently raising funds for the legal defense of our beloved father, Khaled AbuGhanem, and our younger brother, Adham AbuGhanem—two good men caught in the crosshairs of an unjust federal prosecution that has turned our lives upside down.

Our father, Khaled, is a devoted husband and the proud father of eight children. He has always been a pillar of strength, sacrifice, and love in our lives. He is not a criminal—he is a protective father who made desperate choices in response to what he believed was a real and immediate danger to his daughter.

Our brother, Adham, is a young man of character and compassion, who now finds himself ensnared in a legal nightmare due to cultural misunderstandings and gross mischaracterizations. He voluntarily surrendered to authorities and is now incarcerated—never having held his newborn child.

This case is not simple. It involves complex international issues, cultural context, and family dynamics that have been misinterpreted and sensationalized. The government is seeking a life sentence against our father—a punishment that is as extreme as it is unjust.

We are doing everything we can to fight back—but justice in federal court is not free. It requires retaining skilled legal counsel, preparing expert reports, translating documents, and potentially securing testimony from overseas family members. Without financial support, we are facing a battle we cannot win alone.

Your donations will help cover:
• Federal defense attorney fees
• Expert declarations and cultural affidavits
• Document translation and international travel for key witnesses
• Mitigation preparation for sentencing
• Appeals and post-conviction filings if necessary

We believe in our father. We believe in our brother. And we believe the truth will prevail—with your help.

Please stand with us. Donate what you can, and share this campaign widely. Every contribution—big or small—brings us one step closer to justice, and to reuniting our family.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
