This is a follow-up of one of our date drives in Ramadan 1430/Sept. 2009
Email we received from Sister H:
As Salaamu Alaikum,
This truck helps us pick up recycle items and haul large donations. We
can go and get items that we can turn into the recycling center and
earn our way. It comes in handy for picking large donations of food,
etc. from other agencies. We would not have been able to keep the
doors open to our office if we did not have this truck to use. We have
existed off of huge donations from agencies like the United Way. Fund
raising is not easy these days and many of our supporters are coming
to us for some type of assistance.Here it is parked on the lot at our office:
Thanks for helping us get this truck.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Asalaamu Alaaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatu

Thank you for all HalfDaters who helped.
I spoke with the reviewer for our 501c application earlier this afternoon, and she informed me that we were approved for our tax-exempt status, Allahu Akbar! We should receive our official letter in less then (2) weeks… I wanted to share the good news with you since you have helped us so much (Barakallahu feekum)

Of course in Islam, you can only give 1/3 of your wealth after you die, but you can give more if you are still alive.
