Elijah Safadi Apprentice IBEW Local 26

Brothers and Sisters My name is Thomas Myers President of IBEW Local 26. As many of you are aware on February 13, 2024 horrific events occurred at the training facility in Manassas Virginia. Tragically Brother Elijah Safadi lost his life after being attacked while attending school to further the career he loved. Brother Elijah was laid to rest yesterday February 15, 2024. Brother Elijah's funeral service, held according to his faith, was attended by his immediate and extended family, and hundreds of his Brothers and Sisters of IBEW Local 26. Elijah is survived by his parents, his siblings and his girlfriend who is carrying Elijah's unborn child. My goal is to provide Elijah's parents with the means to pay for the expenses and to provide for his unborn daughter or son who Elijah will never see or hold. This tragedy is an unbearable blow to the Safadi family, please help ease this time for them while they try to piece their lives back together.
