Dear friends and benefactors,
Today, it is with great emotion that I appeal to your solidarity.
The house of my loving parents, this refuge full of memories and history, is about to be sold to finance the EHPAD (retirement home) where my mom now lives. Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to finance this purchase, nor to obtain a bank loan.
My parents are French “Pieds-Noirs” from Sidi Bel Abbès (Oran prefecture) when Algeria was French, and have worked hard all their lives. In 1962, when Algeria became independent from France, they lost everything and were forced to leave their homeland, leaving behind their home, their belongings, their memories and the fruits of their labor. In spite of everything, with strength and courage, they rebuilt their lives in France.
My Papa left us in 2009, leaving this house as the last witness to his struggle and his love for us. Today, my mom can no longer live here, and the idea of seeing the few things they still own disappear breaks my heart. This house is more than just walls: it’s a symbol of their history, their sacrifices and all the love they’ve given.
To preserve it and carry out the necessary work, I need 350,000 euros. It’s a huge sum, and I can’t do it alone.
If you can help me, even with a small gesture, every donation will be a beacon of hope in this ordeal. Together, we could preserve this home that has meant so much to my parents and to me.
Thank you so much for your support, your sharing and your generosity.
