FUND RAISING IFTAR: SITI NORAINI NURSING HOME

Assalamualaikum warah matullaahi wabarakaatuh

Come and support the founders of this home who are NEW MUSLIM REVERTS.

The occupants of this home are old folks with chronic illnesses, paralyzed, have seizures, and abandoned by their own children. They desperately need the money to buy the house they're living in. The target for the outcome of this dinner is RM 33,000 (only 10% of the house cost).

If you can't attend, you can pay the ticket for someone else to attend.
If you can't pay for the whole ticket, you can still donate an amount.
If you can't donate an amount, you can still spread the message.
And if you do any of the above, may Allah be pleased with you!
