(Jazak Allah) for giving our girls this wonderful opportunity.”

“You cannot imagine how many organizations I have contacted on behalf of these people and your (group is) the only one that has even bothered to call back, let alone donate and give me info on other sources of help. Thanks so much for all the help you have given!!! I appreciate (your team) so much.”

“Salam Alaikoom Br. Mazhar, Thank you very much for the gas you had put in my car. I was able to receive Iraqi families at the airport because of your help.
Sr. Kiran, I want to thank you for the stuff you gave me. Jazak Allah Khair. It was enough for more than three families. I was so happy when the children saw the toys. It’s a feeling that I couldn’t describe. Thank you very much and may Allah accept the generosity of all the people. ”
- Ahlam Ahmed, Iraqi Mutual Aid Society, Chicago.
“I am a doctor from Iraq. I found the social and financial support from Refugee Assistance Programs and ICNA Relief. They helped me with some essential medical books and instruments that helped me a lot in my study to get back my license in medicine. Also, they provided many families that I referred to them with food baskets and other home stuff. Also, they assisted in paying the rent for the families. We appreciate all the support that they are providing us and Jazahum Allah for their services.
- Adel, Chicago.
Thank you to all those who helped us with rent payments in March 2009. We couldn’t have done it without your support.
- Abdi and Ali Mamo
