FUNDRAISING FOR TAXI DRIVER – VICTIM OF BRUTAL ATTACK

On Friday morning April 13, 34-year-old Muhammad Umar, a Taxi driver was driving two customers when he was violently attacked, slashed in the throat and stabbed multiple times in his side and stomach. The offenders then stole the taxi van and fled the scene as Umar desperately searched for help. Muhammad Umar is still in very serious condition. He is hooked up to life saving equipment with his family by his side. It is expected that it will be a very long time before he fully recovers from the mental and physical trauma that he has endured.

We are calling on everyone to donate generously to help Br. Muhammad Umar and his family financially so that they can continue to have some measure of stability until such time that Muhammad Umar is back in good health.

IAOS will channel funds to Umar’s Gofundme campaign and issue receipts if donated at IAOS website or in masjid. The other way to donate is going directly to the Gofundme campaign website by clicking on the link below
