<div>Dear friends, family, and compassionate supporters,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With a heavy heart, I share the devastating news of the sudden passing of my beloved father, Fouad Ward. On May 12, 2023, our lives were shattered as we lost him far too soon due to a tragic brain hemorrhage. My father was only 53 years old, yet his impact was immeasurable. He was not just a remarkable father, but a source of strength, love, and kindness for our entire family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My father had a heart so full that he selflessly shared it with everyone around him. He possessed an extraordinary ability to touch lives, bringing warmth and comfort to those in need. It was his genuine nature to strike up conversations with the homeless, offering them a hot muffin, a cup of coffee, or even a jacket to shield them from the cold. His infectious humor would brighten the darkest of days and leave a lasting impression on anyone fortunate enough to cross his path.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My father also had a deep passion for photography. He had a keen eye for capturing the beauty of everyday moments and loved sharing his passions with others. He used his camera as a tool to spread happiness and preserve cherished memories.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tragically, mental health challenges, stress, and neglecting regular medical check-ups led to my father's untimely passing. It is a harsh reminder of the importance of prioritizing our well-being, both physically and mentally. We hope that by sharing his story, we can raise awareness about the significance of maintaining our health and seeking help when needed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Left behind are his loving wife, Zena, his daughters Sasha (20), and myself, Natasha (23), and his youngest son Yasha (18). The pain of missing him during significant milestones and cherished memories is indescribable. The funds raised through this campaign will not only help cover funeral and memorial expenses and medical bills but also provide much-needed support to our family during this difficult time. This includes assisting with the expenses to allow us time off to grieve and heal together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We humbly reach out to you, dear friends, seeking your support. Any contribution, big or small, will make a world of difference to us. Your generosity will not only alleviate the financial strain on our family but also provide our father with the peaceful rest he so deserves. It reflects his commitment to helping others, demonstrating that his spirit lives on through our collective acts of kindness and compassion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To those who can donate, share our campaign, or offer comforting words, we extend our deepest gratitude. The pain we endure is unimaginable, but your support offers a glimmer of hope amid the darkness. Together, we can honour the memory of our extraordinary dad, Fouad, and find solace as we navigate this heartbreaking loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the depths of my heart, I thank you for being part of this meaningful journey, preserving the legacy of a truly exceptional man who touched countless lives with his love, generosity, and unwavering spirit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Natasha (Fouad's daughter)
</div>
