  Assalam Alaikum,
  
  Want to share these interesting stuff with you.
  
  A dialogue:
  

  A: Just curious, why you picked to donate $7.29?
  B: Because that's all I could afford without making my
  bank account empty.
  
  More interesting stuff:
  

  -All early donors are from Australia :)
  

  -A laid off mother of three donated $20, a brother who lost
  his job gave $40 (please make dua for them)
  

  -Youngest donor doesn't even have a bank account
  

  -Biggest contribution was $250 from Pennsylvania. After
  emailing out last time, a brother from California gave
  $400, later a donor from Texas gave $500. Now, the biggest
  donation is $700 Calgary, Canada
  

  -Two teachers are going to ask their students to write
  cards for the refugee families (we are still looking for 4
  more groups to write support cards/letters)
  

  -As of now, 17 US states have donated, waiting for the rest
  
  

  Here are some touching quotes:
  
  "I've been planning on donating for the past 10 days but
  this hadith really encouraged me to do it now!!!!!
  Prophet (salAllahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam) said "Sadaqah
  never decreases wealth!" A Student

  "I'm currently an unemployed student! ALhamdulilah I
  gave $40 to this great cause. I hope HalfDate can match :D
  I remember when our family were refugees, how many generous
  people helped us with everything: clothing, food,
  education, etc." Sister A
  
  * * *
  

  So, PLEASE, help any of the following:
  
  
  1- Write to these families

  2- Do you believe in six degrees of separation? Even if
  you are outside the US you may still know someone in these
  states that haven't donated yet. Click to find out

  3- This Sunday 900 AM (Los Angeles time), we will have a
  live program where you can ask questions or talk to some
  families. Post your questions if you can't attend live.
  

  May Allah reward you with the sweetest date in Jannah

  -Abul Balah
