Special needs survey

MUHSEN (Muslims Understanding and Helping Special Education Needs) invites the MCF community to take their survey (link here) so they can assess the requirements of Special Need Families in our community.

Please fill out the survey if you have a samily member with special needs. If you know of a family in our community, who has a family member with special needs, please forward this mail or the survey link to them.

All responses are confidential and will only be provided to the Muhsen team.

Alhamdulillah, The Muslim Community of Folsom is committed to supporting and partnering with MUHSEN in their efforts to help families with Special Needs. MUHSEN, Muslims Understanding and Helping Special Education Needs, certifies Masajid which work towards accommodating special needs community members. For more information about MUHSEN and providing support to special needs for community members, please watch this video with Shaykh Omar Suleiman or visit www.muhsen.org.

But I was wrong-   I can't do this all on my own.  People don't offer to help as often as one might think- families like ours might seem intimidating or complicated. But we're not-we're just typical people in atypical circumstances. And those few times someone does offer to help, I gratefully accept-giving us both a moment of kindness to share. I can't stress enough how even little acts of kindness to our family means to us. Bigger, grander gestures of someone volunteering to watch our girls while I go grocery shopping, or go for a physical for myself, arefew and far between unfortunately. But when it does happen, that moment of kindness, that mutually beneficial gift of giving and receiving, that baraka remains for long after in our hearts”  -Saba Ali Arain    ‌  ‌  ‌
