Open Letter to Mahomet Community: Support for Maui

By Zainab Susi

Dear community! 

The disaster in Maui is heartbreaking and extremely sad to witness. The Hawaiian people have been welcoming visitors and guests for so long, it’s our turn to support them. 

I would like to fundraise for them, but in a slightly unconventional way. I enjoy cooking and will cook a meal for you. All profits will be donated to Maui relief. If you don’t want to purchase a meal for yourself, you can purchase groceries, or order a meal for someone else. There are many ways to contribute. 

Please open your hearts to others and consider participating. I have the meal descriptions, serving size, and cost detailed below:

Servings for 2 or 4 people: 

Order 1.)  Basmati rice with peas, keema (seasoned ground turkey with onions, garlic, ginger, potatoes, and cilantro): $40 for 2, $80 for 4. 

Order 2.)  Chicken biryani, raita (yogurt with fresh herbs), fried potato patties: $40 for 2, $80 for 4. 

Order 3.)  Vegetable basmati rice, Daal (slow cooked lentils), potatoes with cilantro: $30 for 2, $60 for 4 (Order 3 is fully vegetarian)

Order 4.) Petis (Minced meat filled pastries): $ 5.00/each 

Order 5.) Parathas (unleavened layered flatbread): $2.00/each 

You can reach me at (217) 590-2555 or  Zainabsusi38@gmail.com with any inquiries. 

Thank you for your support!
