High School Students Visit a Brother with Cancer

By

When the students heard that one of their own, Zahir Burgos, an 8th grader had cancer–30 of them with their Science teacher, Mr. Majd Ahmad, traveled after school to his home to cheer him up bringing cards and presents. He was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude!

A note from Zahir’s Family

As Salaamu Alaykum Wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu my husband and I want to thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts. Truly you all have lifted his spirits.

Please keep Zahir in your dua. Allah is the best of planners and we are focused on getting him back to good health and completely healed.

Jazakallahu Khairan
