Mother & Son Lost During Tragic Bronx Fire

Donation protected
Hello, praying you are well! My name is Ansumana Susso and I am fundraising for my beloved cousin-sister Fatoumata Tunkara and one of her children Omar Jambang. The recent fire that took place in the Bronx on January 9, 2021, has left devastated and heartbroken. Fatoumata was a mother of five children one being Omar who also passed in the fire. Fatoumata was a mother of 4 other children as well Abdullah Cham (19), Fatima Cham (16) Muhammed Cham (14) Miriam (9). Fatoumata leaves behind three of her children here in the states and one in our home of Gambia. As a community I am asking that we come together to assist in any way possible. We are seeking support in the area of helping to send Fatoumata and Omar's body back home and leave a foundation of support for her remaining children. All donations are welcome no matter the amount towards the expenses of the family.

Fatoumata Tunkara, left behind 4  kids and we intend to use these to help them maintain themselves for the time being.
 
We belong to Allah and to him we shall return. May Allah almighty, forgive and have mercy upon our beloved brothers and sisters in Islam excuse them, pardon them and make honorable his reception.
