You might have heard the devastating news regarding one of Maine's great community leader Fowsiya Muse. While traveling to Ethiopia to visit her sick mother, Fowsia Musse was a victim of gun violence and also lost her sister to this incident. She has a broken leg as well as gunshot wounds, and has been moved to a hospital there to address her immediate needs.

Her daughter Shadia set up the bellow fundraiser to bring Fowziya and her kids back home. Fowsia is a beloved member of our community and this tragedy is being felt by many of us that have worked alongside her in serving disadvantaged and marginalized communities in Maine. Every dollar raised will help us bring Fowsia and her children home and provide for their medical and mental healthcare needs. More details about Fowsiya's situation can be found on the GoFundMe page. 

If you have already donated thank you, please consider sharing the fundraiser. 

In community,

Amina Hassan, Chairwoman
