Action Alert: Ottawa family in need of help
A number of bloggers have alerted us about a family in Ottawa in need of help after losing all their belongings in a fire. As an Ottawa resident myself, it is heartening to see people from around the world coming to the aid of our community.
Pleas from Mujahideen Ryder, the Muslimah, Knowledge Seeker, Haseeb, and Tariq Nelson.
On the evening of Monday March 31st a Somali familyin Ottawa, Ontario lost their home in a fire. There were 7 children inthe family, and as the mother tried to round them up to escape, theyoungest became confused and ran in the opposite direction. He did notmake it out of the fire, he was 2 and a half years old (named Khalid).The father was at work, checked in on his family half an hour beforethe fire, and came home to find his house burned to the ground.
JazakAllah khayr for helping us spread the word.
Alhamdulillah, things are going very well with the Ali family, we’ve closed down online donations.
