Peace to everyone reading this message right now. First, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Michelle, also known as Mrs. Khadijah. I am the Administrative Director of a small but thriving school, Ehsaan Academy. Ehsaan Academy is located in Duncanville, Texas, in a masjid that has served its community for over 30 years. I along with an amazing team take great pride in this job and the community we serve. We have the greatest blessing of contributing to the children of tomorrow by feeding them, teaching them to read, to write, to pray. We have the honor of being a part of molding their characters, and helping to guide them on their life journey.

Although we have dedicated our lives to what we do, although we want for our kiddos nothing but success, we struggle. That is why I am here today typing this message. We need your help. We operate in an underserved community, where support is hard to come by. So we are

reaching out to you, whether you are 1500 miles away or our neighbors, we ask you to help us create an environment for our students to have a fair shot at receiving the education they deserve with the tools that will allow them to thrive.

We are calling upon you, the people, to help us gather $100,000 to purchase school lunches, our online educational software, college prep support, our books, headphones, writing tools, STEM projects, backpacks, a computer charging station, comfortable desks and chairs, cleaning supplies, paint, and hardware for our building, new door knobs, and a new copy machine! The list goes on. Our ultimate goal is to operate in a building that reflects who we are and the pride we take in our curriculum, our programs, and our deen, and to be able to offer our program to the families that can not afford an Islamic education. It is our duty as an ummah to give aid when we are able, Duncanville, and the greater South Dallas area are full of underserved, but never undervalued Muslims who desire an Islamic education, and absolutely deserve it.

That is why we are dedicated by any means necessary to help facilitate that. We can't do it alone, we need sustainability, so that we can continue to see our children here go from not speaking Arabic to reading Quran in just weeks Alhamdulillah! To see our students who leave public school below their reading level, to then thrive beyond. This is just the beginning of a year of hard work and greatness. We believe we will be successful, but we need your help. We ask you to share this with any and everyone, we ask you to give whatever you can. May the Most High bless you in this life and the next and grant us his mercy and goodness. Ameen.

With Our Deepest Gratitude,

-The Ehsaan Academy Team
