Khalid Family Fund  (thanks to Tariq for passing on the info)

Collecting donations for the Ali family, who lost both their son and home in a fire. 

This week, a family in Ottawa lost their home in a fire. There were 7 children in the family, and as the mother tried to round them up to escape, the youngest, Khalid Ali, got confused and ran in the opposite direction. Baby Khalid did not make it out of the fire, he was 2 and a half years old. The father was at work, and checked in on his family that evening before the fire. This family has nothing left. They escaped with only the clothing on their backs. Please donate anything you can for this family. The mother is in shock and is not able to speak or respond when spoken to. The father is trying to be strong for his 6 children.

Alhamdulillah, within the last 48hrs we’ve already raised over $1,400 from the online community. Our goal is $10,000.
