Ainy Harun & Harun Family Medical Emergency

As Salamu ^Alaykum friends & family,

My name is Aysha Harun and I've started this GoFundMe page because my dear Aunt Ainy Harun, and many other Harun family members are in dire need of medical assistance due to a horrible car crash that took place in a small town just outside of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

On Thursday, July 7th 2022, my aunt Ainy Harun and nine other family members that reside in Ethiopia were making their way back from the city of Aggarro, Ethiopia, in a minibus. They were attending the funeral for our beloved aunt, sister and mother, Hamdiya Harun, who had passed away suddenly just a week prior. Unfortunately, upon their return to Addis Ababa, the minibus they were all traveling in got into a high-speed, head-on collision with a transport truck attempting to pass lanes. There were 11 people in the minibus, including the driver. Unfortunately, only two managed to walk away with minor injuries.

Nine, including the driver, were hospitalized. The majority were Harun family members, and below you'll find details about some of their horrible injuries.

My Aunt Ainy Harun received the most critical of injuries. She suffered trauma to her brain and is currently still in a coma, even after undergoing surgery to reduce the swelling beneath her skull. In addition, they have not yet attended to her broken jaw, broken hip bones and a broken leg.

My cousin Oreet has a broken backbone and leg. They plan to operate on her soon, and we pray she can walk again. However, doctors are very much in doubt at the moment.

My uncle Abdulkerim Harun has a broken arm, rib and tailbone fracture that requires him to be bedridden for two months to rehabilitate

My uncle's wife severely impacted her face in the crash and as a result, lost all her teeth, has a broken nose, and her face is unrecognizable. Additionally, she also suffered a broken leg that required surgery.

A woman our family adopted and raised, Azeb, also has a broken jaw and lost several teeth.

All these people need a lot of support for their initial procedures at the hospitals and will undoubtedly need significant help to rehabilitate in the future.

My Aunt Ainy Harun had only rushed from Toronto, Canada, to Ethiopia after the sudden passing of her sister. She dedicated her entire life to helping others and is always the first to offer support when someone is in need. It is an absolute tragedy that she is now in a coma suffering a severe brain injury and more due to this car accident. She is in dire need of extensive medical care and we wish to bring her back to Canada by air ambulance so she can be adequately tended to.

Our goal is to raise $200,000 USD to bring our beloved Ainy home, help all impacted with their initial medical needs and provide ongoing support to overcome the issues and challenges created by this tragedy.

I ask Allah that whatever you decide to give, He rewards you immensely for it. Ameen.

Thank you,

Aysha Harun
