There is a family in the Parsippany
area who's father is very ill with cancer. There are 4
boys ages 3 and up who are currently staying with their
grandmother because the mother is between both NJ and PA
trying to take care of her sick husband and the children at
the same time. The grandmother does not drive so the
mother has to come back to shop for them, etc. We were
thinking of getting each of the boys a Eid outfit and give
them each a small amount as a gift. we were also
looking for volunteers to shop for necessities for them.

The 2nd family consists of a single
mother living in the Paterson area. Her husband passed
away a little while ago, not sure of exactly when. she
has 3 girls, 7th grade, 4th grade, and 2nd grade. We
would also like to provide new outfits for the Eid, also new
or gently used clothing donations would be appreciated.

A 12 year old boy with cerebral palsy
who is restricted to a wheel chair needs to repair his
motorized wheel chair. He lives in VA. We
currently have some people looking into purchasing a used
wheel chair motor for him. The estimated cost of
repairs is around $2450. Anyone wishing to send
donations directly to the family please let me know and we
can provide an address to send it to. If you would
rather give the money to someone here, There is a person
currently collecting the money to send in one big bulk.
Anyone interested in helping any of these
families please let me know at
elhendy@optonline.net.
Please pass this on to anyone else you know
who would be interested in helping. As for the family in
Paterson, I will be going on Thursday to drop off some things to
them, if anyone is interested in giving something please let me
know before Thursday.
