Something for Sandy Hook

Home. What is home without family? There is something so horrifying about the thought of losing a loved one. And when such a tragedy hits close to home, it's that much more heart-wrenching. Like the rest of the country, the Modern Muslim Home team was shocked to hear about the events that transpired one week ago, so close to us, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

What do you do when something horrible happens and there's nothing you can do about it? Sometimes, all you can do is try to show that you care, that you share the pain of others. We thought we'd share some photos of what we contributed towards the Sandy Hook Memorial earlier this week. The world can be a scary place, but we hope this encourages you to be that much kinder, that much more compassionate. We hope this inspires you to pray - for yourselves, for your loved ones, and for all those suffering from fear, sadness, pain, and death, not just in Connecticut or the U.S., but all over the world.
