Ramadan 2025: Celebrating our Growth and Looking Ahead

“Be the moon in somebody's night. Be the yusr (ease), in somebody's usr (hardship).”
― Yasmin Mogahed

Salaam Readers,

What a year it has been for BlessEid—Alhamdulillah! Thanks to your generosity and unwavering support, we successfully raised $14,670.07 and delivered 91 gift baskets to families across Calgary in 2024. We are currently in the process of ordering items for our next batch of gift baskets, which we hope to distribute this Eid-ul-Fitr, Insha’Allah.

As Helen Keller once said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our team at BlessEid! Each member brings unique skills and expertise that contribute to our continued growth and ensure we provide the best possible support to families in need. Be sure to check out our "Our Team" page to learn more about the incredible individuals behind our work.

In other exciting news, we are delighted to announce a new partnership with The Green Room, a non-profit organization based in Edmonton, Alberta, led by a dedicated team. Through this collaboration, BlessEid will assemble additional gift baskets for The Green Room to distribute to families in Edmonton. As we continue our work, we remain committed to our partnerships with Assured Family Foundation and Nisa Homes, with plans to assemble and deliver 66 baskets this year for Eid-ul-Fitr 2025.

Our fundraising goal for Eid-ul-Fitr 2025 is $15,000, and we will keep you updated on our progress.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our community for your generosity and unwavering support. Your contributions are invaluable in helping BlessEid fulfill its mission of spreading kindness and joy to those in need.

Warm regards,
The BlessEid Team
