Osman says

"We have set up a team in Montreal to raise funds for the victims and the money we raise will primarily be contributing to the work of the Nur Foundation (who provide primary health care, clean water, and relief items) and the Edhi Foundation (an ambulance rescue service and relief providing organisation). There are going to be a large variety of events that will take place in the coming months and our efforts will not wane. We urge you to also take action, help, and donate to the organisations who are helping the victims as best as they can and do your part not simply because you can, but because you must."
