Upstate’s Muslim community remembers Palestinian girl who learned to walk in Greenville
Raghad Al-Jabri was seven years old when she first learned to walk.
She was born with legs that could not support her. An amputation surgery and finding the right prosthetics to hold her upright could help her walk. But those facilities were rare, if not non-existent in Gaza’s embattled Khan Younis refugee camp.
In 2018, help came from across the seas. A group of volunteers, doctors and close-knit Muslim families in South Carolina’s Upstate banded together. Raghad’s dream became their own.
