On April 8, 2017, my son Ilyaas Khanshab, was born. No one could predict my family would be celebrating his 3rd birthday via a virtual hangout. It's a strange new world we live in.  In the middle of singing "Happy Birthday" along with our quarantined family, I looked up and  saw my brother, covered in personal protection equipment from the clinic, my first thought was nuclear warfare. I t was at this moment I internalizd the severity of my brother treating COVID-19 patients at a Garwood, NJ Urgent Care. Frontline workers have been unexpectedly drafted 'to war' and are risking their lives to protect humanity from this deadly virus. I'm deeply proud and appreciative of my brother, Ali Asgher Khanshab, and all other essential workers for their selfless contribution in fighting     COVID-19. My wife, Mahera Khanshab, and I felt the urge to show our appreciation to my brother and all his collegues at the UCHA Care Center. With support and contribution fro...

Robert, our family tailor in India, provides a service that leaves a lasting impression. When it comes to sewing, he can fix anything within a quick turnaround and for a fair price. He makes the customer feel like his top priority and every interaction is complimented with a genuine smile. Robert is the kind of worker that I admire, embodying characteristics of passion, work ethic, mastery and simplicity. Robert has a moderate workshop, crammed behind a stairwell in a building lost in a non-commercial gully off the main road. His business stood the test of time and has grown organically through word of mouth of his superior craft. While in India, Mahera Khanshab and I felt the urge to provide Robert with some unconditional recognition, so we made him a sign for his store, simply because we thought he deserved it. I’m sharing this story with the intent to be a motivational catalyst for others to provide good deeds. If this story has inspired you to do a good deed, I want to know and...

I want to thank everyone who participated in the fundraiser for  Christina Saragaglia . It has been an amazing effort that we should feel proud of.  I remember waking up in the middle of the night  staring at the ceiling thinking about  Christina and her family.  I  was apprehensive to the idea of reaching out to the community in search of support for this cause.  I went with my gut feeling and the community response was an overwhelming positive energy during a time of unexplicable grief. In just a few days, together we raised a total of $6,571 for the Saragaglia Family. It is evident how much Stina is loved and also how much she will be missed. God bless America. I miss your laugh. Motivation Catalyst Outcome: $6K Donated to Family United community for a positive contribution

We will be traveling through Belize, Ecuador, Galapagos Islands and India. In Belize we will be staying 8 miles due east off the coast on a secluded island (3 acres) for 8 days.
