Help Amazing Dad & His 6 Children After Losing Wife and Mom

Donation protected
A very good friend of mine, Ali, has been trying to get back on his feet financially after his wife spent two months in the hospital in a coma and eventually passed away leaving him alone to raise their 6 children -- the youngest being 5. The youngest boy was just a baby when Ali's wife started having issues so her son didn't even have a real chance to bond with her. He was 3 when she passed. Having been a single Mom to twin boys, I know how difficult it is to raise kids alone and with only one income. Ali had to take a lot of time off work the two months his wife was in the hospital. He spent his entire savings on her funeral and burial. I had a very supportive family and also a very supportive work family and friends. Ali has no one. His Mom has been sick in Jordan and he has been trying to help her by sending her money for doctor bills and medications. He also made payments to pay for a special recliner for her in December. Ali and I contacted many organizations looking for help for him and his kids but he was not eligible due to the fact that he makes too much money as a mechanic. We have also gone to food pantries in his area but it's difficult to go regularly due to the very limited days and hours which are mostly weekdays during the day when he is working. I thought about GoFundMe a while back but I really felt we would be able to find organizations that would be able to help. We even went to Mosques in his area and my area looking for help but we were always told that someone would get back to one of us and those calls never came. All I can say is Ali is an amazing, hard-working Dad and his main concern is his kids -- keeping a roof over their head, clothes on their backs and food on the table. As you can see from the photos they are a beautiful loving family. I'm hoping that Ali's story will pull at your heartstrings like it did mine and if you are able you will donate what you can to help him get back on his feet. No amount is too small and every donation will be greatly appreciated by him and his kids. He and his kids have been thru SO MUCH. I would just like to do anything I can to make their lives a little easier and happier until he is able to get back on his feet. May you never have to experience anything like what Ali has been thru. I really don't know how he does it. I think it's the love he has for those kids that keeps him going. Thank you so much in advance for your consideration and God bless you and your families. If you can't donate, if you could share that would be awesome.
