Rasha Fahim & Sunita Gupta (community members) would like to thank you all for your generous donations and good wishes. The Bashar family is extremely grateful for the support and sincerity of the community.
We are unable to share much about the medical condition of the patient.
Your donations will support the family with numerous day to day additional expenses being incurred as the mother of children continues to be hospitalized. These may vary from transportation costs (taxi chits); incidental dining expenses; extended support for care of children; food, groceries etc. as they lean on friends and family to meet their needs.
The funds will be held by the Islamic Society of Kingston (ISK). As and when the family is in need of some items mentioned above, the ISK will be notified in writing by two designated community members (Rasha Fahim and Amr ElSharkawy ) thus generating a withdrawal to purchase the required items. Once the family receives the requested taxi chits or grocery cards, they will sign an acknowledgement and will receive update on the balance of funds. We are adding this additional step to ensure transparency is maintained throughout the process.
