Providing support for the family of Yousef Awaida and Raihan Dakhil during this difficult time.


To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.

Yousef Awaida and his wife Raihan Dakhil and their baby Omar were hit by a suspected DUI driver in Long Beach last night, as they walked on the sidewalk. Yousef passed away. Raihan and Omar are in critical condition. 

In coordination with the Awaida family, this campaign is to support the families in this difficult time with funeral costs, medical bills, and any ongoing costs associated with this tragedy. May Allah make it easy on everyone.

    Updates

    Baby Omar has passed away. Inna lillahi wa inna illayhi rajiun. Please continue to keep the family in your dua; Raihan is still in critical condition. The funds raised here will be used to cover medical, funeral, and other financial burdens the family will endure as a result of this tragedy. If there are any additional funds left, those will go toward a Sadaqa Jariya/legacy project.
