Help Orphans

This was sent to me by a reader…Please help

UPDATE: This is the story on the tragic accident (Thanks to Kelly)

This man’s two children are now orphaned. Let’s help out any way we can insha Allah.
Don’t delay. Donate now. Imagine if this was your child, your family.

A former community member of Long Island, Hany Shehata has recently passed away in a fatal car accident. His wife Sahar, and his two children Yusuf and May were all in the car when this took place. His family pretty much saw him bleed to death, since the ambulance did not reach him until an hour after the accident. Inna Lillahi wa inna ‘ilayhi raji’un. Yusuf’s right foot was badly burned in the accident and may need surgery.

The family was in a difficult situation. He was the primary income of the family, working full-time at home depot. His wife Sahar had a part-time job with no benefits. They were paying a monthly mortgage for a house in Delaware, but the financial situation was difficult, and you can only imagine what it must be like now.

They have little or no support group in Delaware since they only moved there recently from Long Island.

Below are some of the options you have of donating to the Sahar Ibrahim Family Fund

1. Through ChipIn

2. You can write a check payable to:

Sahar Ibrahim
316 Marldale Drive
Middletown, DE 19709

Please spread the word...

    May Allah (swt) grant him jannah! May Allah (swt) allow his family to live comfortable and endure without him. Ameen!

    Asalaamu alaikum Tariq,

    Do you know the family or the organizers of the fund drive personally? Asking because PayPal is saying my funds are unclaimed from using the ChipIn feature… I want to make sure they are actually getting their donations, inshaAllah! :)

    I too tried to pay chip in but they are saying my funds are unclaimed as well. Do you know what’s going on? I want these kids to have some help inshaAllah.
