Assalamualykum WaRahmatullahi WaBarakatuhu.
This is brother Talha Hammad, I have made a personal GoFundMe as the GoFundMe (shown below, with the description) has been put on hold as funds are being transferred and dealt with while we are abroad and I was requested to make another one to allow those who want to help to continue donating.
I want to thank the communities that have come together to donate, a little or a lot, to our cause. Seeing the support and the funds raised eased our hearts in a time where we are being tested and we ask Allah to grant us Sabr. I ask Allah to bless every single person who has donated and I ask Allah to admit every single one of you all into Jannah Al-Firdous without accountability.
Jazakallah Khair.
From Afsheen Ahmad, first Fundraiser:
"Talha Hammad, a young and beloved member of our community, is facing an unimaginable loss. This past week, his father, Hammad Akbar, passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a grieving wife and children.
Brother Hammad Akbar was a loving father, a devoted husband, and a kind soul who touched the lives of many; however, as the sole breadwinner for his family, his sudden passing has left them not only heartbroken, but also facing significant financial uncertainty.
Talha has been a pillar of service within the local Muslim community. He has led salah and delivered Friday khutbahs at Broomfield Islamic Community Center, Islamic Center of Boulder, Erie Islamic Center, Islamic Center of Longmont, and Masjid Ikhlas. Through his involvement with the MYPI community, he has also mentored and supported many young people with sincerity and dedication.
Now, at only 19 years old, Talha must step into the role of supporting his family—caring for his mother and younger sister, while continuing to pursue his education.
Talha is determined to fulfill his parents’ dream of becoming a doctor, but the path ahead has suddenly become much more challenging.
We ask our community to come together to support this family during this difficult time. Your donation will help cover essential living expenses and provide stability as they navigate the months ahead.
No amount is too small. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in their lives.
If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page so others may have the opportunity to support this family in need.
May Allah reward your kindness and grant ease to the family of Brother Hammad Akbar during this difficult time."
