			This is my friend Farah Alvar.
Farah and her husband Rami, are
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			very active here in the California
community, and they used to live
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			in Canada, so you may know them
from there or from mass. Rami's
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			cousin Sami Sultan is a
photojournalist in ghaza. You
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			might already follow him. For the
past six months, we have seen
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			horrific images coming through his
lens. He and his family are now
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			trying to escape rasa family
members, including baby Samia, who
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27
			was born into this genocide, and
little Aya and many other
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			children, as well as grandparents
and aunt and an uncle, cousins,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:35
			brothers, it is very expensive to
evacuate. Egypt is requiring costs
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			that most Americans don't have in
our bank account to be able to
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			escape this genocide. For a family
this big, gonna cost about 200,000
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			pounds. I say pounds because
sammy's brother lives in Europe,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			and so he is the one who created
the GoFundMe. And it is in pounds,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:53
			but you can donate in dollars by
Allah's mercy, in your generosity,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			we will able able to fundraise
over $80,000
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:01
			for the bill Taji family in three
days, and over $20,000 for the
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			farsoq family in one I have seen
the impact of those donations
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:09
			already. You are the reason, By
Allah's grace and mercy and your
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:14
			generosity that names of children
have been written for escape as
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
			well as their family members on
this last night of Ramadan.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			Because especially now, we feel
like we haven't done everything we
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			could of this Ramadan, let me tell
you that this act is a huge one
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:30
			you will, Inshallah, quite
literally, be a means of saving
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:35
			the lives of an entire family.
This is zakat eligible. So if you
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			haven't given zakat, please
consider giving it here and we
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			pray for the protection and safety
of all of the people of khadza, A.
