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.
