Help Break Their Fast

 
After hours waiting, suffering in the heat of summer and longing for relief, what if I told you that you couldn’t share iftar with your family? What if I told you,“Tonight, you won’t have the joy of breaking the fast.”
You might be angry and outraged, or wonder “Why?”
 
For some of our brothers and sisters around the world, the answer is simple --they just don’t have access to food.
While you and I may be fortunate enough to share tonight’s final iftar with our families, tens of millions of others won’t have the chance.

Help break their fast.
