Parents Daniel & Leila Abdallah have created i4give Day as a remembrance of the four angels that were tragically lost on the 1st of February 2020. This is to also help others who have suffered in a similar way. As well as this, it is a National day of forgiveness where you could find someone you can forgive or ask for forgiveness. You are encouraged to search your heart and find someone you can forgive on this day. Set them free and feel the freedom of forgiveness.
