Helping a Family in Need After Loss of a Loved One
We would like to provide information to you on a special promotion Helmi Felfel orchestrated on behalf of a local dealership during the Christmas season 2004, currently reopening this benefit to assist The Shekina Page family.
The week before Thanksgiving, a man and father was brutally murdered in a carjacking in the Charlotte area in front of his 12 year-old niece and 4 year-old daughter. Ms. Page, the widow was four months pregnant and left alone to support their four children. The carjacker was never caught. The family needed help to recover from this tragedy, especially for Christmas, and Helmi Felfel, General Manager of a local dealership organized a relief effort.
In a two-week period, we were able to pool together an impressive group of businesses to help
the family out. We also created a bank account for
the family and used a top-rated local radio station to help us spread the word.
We were able to provide
the family :
-new mattresses and beds
-a refrigerator
-at least 15 Christmas presents per child, including new shoes and coats
-a bank account and generated over $6,000 from public donations
-a Minivan from a local dealership
If you are interested in assisting this family this 2006 Holiday Season, please contact Tim Dewyer at 704-576-8303
