In time of need, we all have to be there. It's time for us to give us back to our community, the police department, the

fire department and the people who volunteer in the hospital, doctors and nurses in Mesa,Scottsdale,Glendale,Tempe,

Phoenix and Gilbert. With the help of my friend,the chairman of Arizona Muslim Police Advisory board, we’re delivering lunches for the first 

responder because I want everybody to know that we are part of this community.

We wanted to help and they are so happy to see us.They are so friendly they’re  

thankful for us, they send us messages. They said we are  thankful for what you’re doing for us.

I also wanted to say that my son Trevor is a police officer in Belmont, California.

I'm proud of him to make us all safe.

In my lifetime, I went through so many changes and I’m somebody who does not give up. In 1977

,I came to this country. I'm very thankful that I came here as an immigrant and I'm very proud to have

a great family and a lot of friends around me. I'm thankful for the USA for giving us a chance to be who we are.

We want this place to be open as soon as we can, but if it's not safe we're not in a hurry. We want to make sure that everybody is safe and everybody comes to our restaurant, to Mijana and Mijana West. We are open now also at Mijana East, only for to go deliveries and pick up.

I'm thankful for the people around me, my employees and everybody who supported me. God bless you and God bless the USA, God bless Lebanon and the whole world to come back without more deaths coming into our world.

Thank you,
