Unexpected circumstances resulted in mounting debt for a brother in our community.  He is not the type to ask for help, but $40,000 is a huge financial burden to pay back when you live paycheck to paycheck.  He is God-fearing, hardworking and an extremely dedicated father.  He volunteers consistently for the homeless and needy, as well as a coach for youth sports.  Now it's time we show up for him.

In addition, his 22 year-old truck quit working.  Thanks to donors on LaunchGood, a replacement vehicle was purchased at the end of September for $6,000, necessary equipment for his self-employed business was bought for $3,000, approximately $1,000 was spent on miscellaneous expenses, and the remaining $3,000 went towards debt.  

Remember, your ZAKAH can be prepaid.  

We decided to keep the campaign live until the goal is reached, inshaAllah, for each time it was about to end, someone else shared the link and new donations came in.  If you have yet to share it on social media, please consider doing so.
