    We are reaching out with a heartfelt request to support Mr. Farhang Pedram, a senior citizen of our community, who recently suffered a severe stroke. On April 22, 2025, he collapsed at home and was rushed to the hospital, where doctors discovered bleeding in his brain. He has since been left partially paralyzed and unable to speak and walk or move his entire right side, requiring round-the-clock care.

    His wife, Rebecca Lydia Pedram, is the sole earning member of the family, while their daughter is in university and working part-time. The family is doing everything they can, but the emotional and financial burden of long-term care is overwhelming.

    This is where we, as a community, can come together. Your donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward covering medical and care expenses for Mr. Farhang Pedram. Beyond financial help, your prayers, kindness, and words of encouragement mean the world to the family.

    Donate Now

    Kindly share this appeal with your friends or family so we can reach even more kindhearted supporters.

    Together, we can ease the Pedram family’s burden and show them the strength of our Zoroastrian community.


    With gratitude,
    Helping Hands Committee
