How often do you have the opportunity in life to make a difference, no matter how small the charity? These moments surround us but many times we overlook them in our complexity, when the solution is simple. The biggest healing often times come from the smallest kindnesses.

As Salaamu Aalaykum,
We have a family in need of relocating ASAP! They have a child that suffers from a severe pulmonary condition and severe allergies to several molds. It is medically necessary that the child no longer occupy his current residence, as further exposure to the health risk in the home can result in irreversible obstruction and chronic lung disease.

The child is currently hospitalized and cannot be released until a new home is secured. They are in need of $500 to secure the new apartment. They are able to pay the rent with no problem after that.

This request has been verified, and documented from the pediatric hospital.

Meet for Meat is a project to distribute the Qurban/Udhiya meat to needy Muslims.

The project has three goals:
-Encouraging Muslims to offer their Qurban locally
-Reviving the Sunnah of sharing the meat
-Reviving the Sunnah of eating the meat during Eid Al-Adha and the following 3 days.

We are going to replicate this project in different cities. Please share your experience if you did a similar meat distribution project.

Why offering your Qurban locally instead of sending it overseas?
