Everything Is Gonna Be Alright

Welcome! This page was joyfully created for Rie Askari- our beloved and cherished friend. Please join us in praying for and fundraising for the amazing Askari Family. 

First, I'd like to share a note from Sasan, Rie's husband:

"On Friday, July 30th, 2021, Rie woke up from a  dream that she shared with my 13-year-old daughter, Mia.  This was an unusual dream.  Rie had never had a dream like that before.  Rie told my daughter that in the dream she "felt surrounded by God's presence", telling her: "EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT".  Rie and Mia wondered about the meaning of such a strange dream.  We praised God for the message.

A few hours later while Rie, Mia, Foad and I were eating lunch at a restaurant, Rie had a 30-second seizure.  The restaurant "happened" to be next to St David's Medical Center Emergency Room.  Within one hour, she had a life-saving craniotomy to evacuate a massive intracranial hemorrhage.  Going from the ER to the CT scanner, then to the OR within an hour is unheard of.  To have the best and the kindest neurosurgeon on call and immediately available was clearly a miracle.

If you have joined our family in prayer, please know that walking through the shadows in this dark valley, Mia and I are empowered to fear no evil, for we know He is with us. Yea!  We are unshakably comforted, knowing He clears our paths with His rod and staff, long before we get there.  He told Rie: "EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT".   We praise Him for He is a promise-keeping God.  Whatever is ALRIGHT with Him is alright with us.  

We are blessed by the unbelievable number of people who are helping us in so many ways and through their prayers.

As Mia likes to say, "God Bless".  As God said, "EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT"

All Glory to Him." 

Second, while Rie is stable and progressing, there are many medical expenses such as physical, speech and occupational therapies, surgeries and other accommodations Rie may need on this journey. All donations will go directly to the Askari family. Please know if there is any above-and-beyond funds raised, Sasan would like you to know that he will donate it to charity. In addition, if you would like to be informed of Rie's latest medical status, here is the link to her blog:

Thank you for stopping by. Thank you for blessing this precious family.
