<div>Our beloved employee and friend, Mohammad Ali, was recently shot while working at our convenience store on Main Street in Vancouver.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For more than 20 years, Ali has been a familiar and loved face in the Main Street community. To so many customers, he isn’t just the person behind the counter he is a friend, someone who remembers people, welcomes them with a smile, and has always treated the community with kindness and respect.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ali is also a husband and a father of three children. Right now, he and his family are facing an incredibly difficult time as Ali focuses on recovering from this traumatic experience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A proper recovery takes time, patience, and support. Being away from work can also bring financial stress at a time when Ali should be focused on healing. That’s why we are raising $15,000 to help support Ali and his family during his recovery and give them some financial peace of mind while he takes the time he needs to get better.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What makes Ali so special is that even after everything that happened, his heart was still with the community. His words were:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“We are here, open 24 hours to give good service and love to our community.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After more than 20 years of giving that love to Main Street, we believe it’s our turn to give that love back to Ali.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If Ali has ever greeted you with a smile, helped you at the store, remembered your name, or simply been a familiar face in your life, please consider supporting him now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you can donate $5, $20, $100, or simply share this fundraiser, every bit of support makes a difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s come together as a community and show Ali that Main Street is here for him, just as he has always been here for us. ❤️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your generosity, your prayers, your kind messages, and every share.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From Main Street, with love we are here for Ali. ❤️
