A message to all members of International African Shia Federation

As Salaamu Alaykum Sisters and Brothers,

Thanks to All Mighty Allah (swt), Br. Shu'ayb and his family have survived the earthquake but desperately need our help.

Please find below a quick update about their situation related from Br. Amin,

"I just spoke to Br Shu'ayb and he is alive.. His house is destroyed, the Al- Mahdi center is destroyed and 7 children died.. Most of the shia families are homeless... we have about 20 families in Port au Prince and more in Leogane, so about 100 to 150 Shi'as. They need clothes and food on a regular basis but he mentioned that money contribution is best at the moment because transport to Haiti is difficult.

The western union office close to his house is not opened yet.. the closest one is 2 hours away... Money gram is easy and everywhere... If everybody is OK wih it.. I could gather funds and send the money gram to him.... He wanted to make sure that we call him with the reference number and name when the money is sent .. "

I spoke with Br. Shu'ayb last night and in addition to money, they need tents (as they are living on the street), medicine, food and clothing.

Right now the banks are closed, but should resume operations on Monday morning for a few hours / day.

Br. Amin and I (Fatima Ali) have agreed to coordinate efforts to collect money and send it to Haiti, so that Br. Shu'ayb is not being inundated with a lot of calls nor drawing suspicion towards himself. We want to ensure that his physical safety remains intact, as there is a lot of violent crimes being committed.
