Justice for Mai Jweinat & Family Support

Mai Jweinat – loving mother, wife, and entrepreneur – was murdered on June 26, 2020. Mai leaves behind her beloved children, husband, and [family members]. She will be remembered as a “mother to the entire community” with her contagious smile, selflessness and free spirit. 

The goal of this fundraiser is to assist the Jweinat family with paying for upcoming funeral costs, childcare, medical bills and relocation.

Background 
On June 26, 2020, Mai Jweinat entered her vacant restaurant in Providence, RI, to gather some of her personal belongings. After entering, Mai caught her restaurant being burglarized by a young man, Isaiah Araujo, 20 and he fatally assaulted her. Araujo was then confronted by her son, Gregory Jweinat and her step-daughter, Alysha Jweinat. Both of her children fought for their lives; leaving Gregory and Araujo seriously injured. Araujo has since been charged with murder and felony assault. More information regarding the incident can be found here .

Mai leaves a legacy of unconditional love, caring for her community, and selflessness.  Mai was dedicated to her children and was always there for everyone that she knew.  Please help the Jweinat family in this extremely difficult time by donating for the funeral costs, child care, medical bills and relocation. 


Thank You
The Jweinat family is grateful for your support and prayers during this difficult time. Please continue to share your favorite memories of Mai, share this fundraising page, and help in any way you are able to. 

A vigil will be held in honor of Mai and the legacy she leaves behind. Funeral arrangements will be made public by the Jweinat family and found [here]. *vigil information will be updated soon
