UPDATE 8/16: It is with the utmost heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved Ezadeen Issak this evening. Ezadeen, known to his friends at Riverside as Ezu, was a caring figure to all those around him and really made his impact felt around the community.

A brother and son to his family members, and a friend to countless others, Ezadeen's passing was completely unexpected. It is important for us at this time to come together and help out the family in their dire time of need. Please continue to share and donate to this page. Thank you.

On Thursday, August 10th, Ezadeen Issak was in a swimming pool accident that caused severe head trauma and has left him hospitalized indefinitely. The long-term severity of his injuries is still unknown and we would like to aid Ezadeen's family in covering the medical bills in such an unprecedented time.

Ezadeen came to America from Sudan and has made a significant impact in the greater Riverside community in his short time here. Ezadeen is not only a student at the University of California, Riverside, but also a member of the Muslim Student Association, a frequent visitor of the Islamic Center of Riverside, a senator of his college, a delegate for the Model United Nations at UCR, and a beloved brother of Kappa Sigma.

All proceeds will go directly to Ezadeen's brother-in-law Mustafa Juma and will cover any bills related to his injuries. Our prayers continue to go out to Ezadeen and his family and we thank you in advance for your support.
