The old photographer left to hajj!

For those of you who’ve been following the story of the old photographer you will be happy to know he just left to hajj today. As I mentioned in my previous post on the old photographer, a very kind reader offered to help send him to hajj at her expense. Not only did she finance the whole trip but she also helped find a hemla that would take him and she even helped him pack and take him to the airport. I really can’t thank her enough for her kindness, what she did was beyond nice. She sent me a picture of the old man at the airport today dressed in the traditional white cloths with an expression on his face that looks like he can’t believe this is all really happening and not just a dream.

There is another reader I would also like to thank for helping with the Saudi visa. If it wasn’t for his help the old man wouldn’t have been able to get a visa and he wouldn’t have been able to travel. But the old man was lucky since the visa was issued last night which was just in the nick of time because the last group from the old man’s hemla was leaving today.

So thank you to the both of you for making this old man’s wish come true.

Just got goose bumps! I was thinking of him yesterday when I heard people are already leaving to Hajj. Thank you for the update, this is a heart-warming story with a happy ending, I can only imagine what he is feeling, a while ago he had a dream and now he is living it:) God bless YOU first for sharing the story, God bless the kind lady what she did is beyond words, and God bless the person who got the visa:) just beautiful…hope he has a safe trip…

Wow! This is Fantastic!!

What a great lady, god bless her and the person who got him the visa.

It’s times like this when I say el7umdela, there are actually real people out there with feelings.

Inshallah, he will go and come back safely.

I suppose, there is one person that should be thanked and that is you.
If it wasn’t for you, his story would never have been told…you took an old man’s dream and turned it into a reality -well done, Mark

it is said God sends us people like Angels to help us when we cannot even believe it is possible. In this case the lady and the other person were the Angels.

Thanks, Mark and thanks to all who helped make this old man’s dream come true! It restores our faith in humanity. May God accept his pilgrimage.

Let’s hope he goes on the old ppl side where someone can carry or help him, otherwise he’d die in regular Hajj if he is really old and weak. U get trampled easily if u don’t keep up with the insane crowd.

This story has touched me immensely.

Thank you Mark for deciding to go the extra mile for him. And thanks to the lady and the gentleman who helped him get to Hajj.

Perhaps we can all raise money for him through:

I would be one of the first to donate. The money could be a sort of pension for him

God bless

Good evening
