Killed siblings regularly helped to feed needy
THREE children mowed down by an alleged drunk driver have been remembered for feeding meals to the needy in Sydney’s west as messages of support poured in from across the country.
Abdallah siblings Sienna, 8, Angelina, 12, and Antony, 13, died at the scene in Oatlands alongside their cousin Veronique
Sakr, 11, while on an evening walk on Saturday.
The Team Jesus Foundation said the siblings had regularly helped serve meals to the homeless in Blacktown with their parents on Friday nights before their deaths.
“They stood in line with the adult team members to serve food and to give a smile to those who needed it most,” the charity said in a statement on social media.
“In fact, these little angels used to encourage or rather insist on their parents to take them to Blacktown on Friday night so they could serve, not the other way (around).
“By this, they set an example to all other children to do the same and they made a huge impression on everyone who met them at this community service.
“Not only did they serve at tables, but they insisted on praying for the people whom we served, and their prayers brought the blessings and favour of God upon the place.”
The death of the four children also moved Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who yesterday released a statement saying Australians would keep the memory of them in their hearts.
“Like everyone across the country, Jen and I feel such incredible sadness for the Abdallah and Sakr families who have lost their angels,” he said.
