Support victims of Walsall attack
Donation protected
This is a gofundme campaign to help the victims of an attack on members of our local Walsall community.
This past Monday Kashmir Meat and Poultry, a local Halal butchers, on Wednesbury Road, Pleck was attacked with petrol-bombs deliberately and burst into flames. More information on the story can be found here: http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/molotov-cocktail-thrown-halal-butchers-11535781 and some photographs of the fire damage.
It is reported that an employee was also hit by the petrol bomb, though was not 'severely' harmed.
The current costs of repairs to the shop are unknown but it is clear that there has been considerable fire-damage which will mean the shop has to close it's business for some months. The loss of wages and business cannot be fully accounted for.
We need to come together as a community and stand in solidarity with the victims of this attack, who were a part of our thriving Muslim community. We will not stand for these personalised crimes of terror, whatever their motivation.
Please consider donating some money for the families, victims and workers as a step towards supporting them and the wider community affected by these attacks.
