Donate to Alia Ansari memorial fund

[PsychoDad]

For those interested.

I know when the story first broke there was a great deal of discussion about this brave woman, her life and her death.

Here is a chance to help those she left behind.

CAIR-SFBA Action Alert: Attend Memorial Services Friday & Saturday

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, San Francisco Bay Area Chapter (CAIR-SFBA), is urging the community to donate to Alia Ansari's Memorial Fund, established a day after she was gunned down in Fremont.

The fund has been set up for the husband and six children that Ansari left behind.

On Friday, October 20, the CAIR-SFBA staff attended the vigil held for Ansari, and visited the family at their home near Glenmoor Drive. The family is understandably grieving Ansari's death, with their primary concern being her children, who are aged 2-13 .

To donate to a fund for the Ansari children, checks can be made to the "Ansari Family'' at Washington Mutual, account No. 3091558830, and at Fremont Bank, account No. 55041477.

We call on you to donate generously to Ansari's Memorial Fund, and support the family in their time of need. We also request you remember Alia Ansari and the family in your prayers.
