Friend in Need - Would never ask if it wasn't critically important

Dear Friends,

I know I have been offline for a while and since the birth of our second daughter I really have been short with both time for blogging. But today, I am back because I have to ask a favor of you. I just found out that one of our dearest friend's father passed away yesterday due to Leukemia. Its a very sad day for her and the family.

He was an engineer and was working to his dying days to take care of his wife and daughter. With the economy being what it is he had too. Both his wife and daughter lost their jobs. He had luekemia but still was working and supporting the family. He was in and out of the hospital for 3 months and now the family is in a bad financial distress.

Hospital bills are on them and they are behind rent. Our mutual friend Bijan is being an angel and buying grocery for them. They have absolutely no money now.

So Bijan, my wife and I are emailing our friends and family to help out and contribute what we can to help them survive, day to day. The father's dying wish was to be buried in Iran. So we are trying to get them the funds necessary to honor his legacy.

Bijan gave me their account number so anyone that can help just to deposit money. I am not sure how comfortable I am to post that number in a blog, but I will let you know that if you are interested and can help these poor people you can send me the funds via Paypal at mr.behzadi <@> Gmail.com.

Please spread the word and see if anyone wants to pay any Sadagheh (farsi for)/donation to pay this poor family.

If you don't think I am being legit or have any doubts about this please do not send any money. I am not looking to scam anyone, I just want to honor our friend's father and help someone in need.

Blessings to all of you. Thank you for your time.
