Petition for the Sobhy Family

Dear beloved congregation, as some of you may be aware one of our beloved families; Fady & Tevwan have had their daughter’s visa denied as she did not meet the medical health criteria. As a result of this denial, the whole family will not be able to stay permanently and their visa will be rejected after many attempts with the Australian Government. As a last attempt and a sign of support we have opened the below petition to collect signatures.
