Our Story
A life of quiet generosity, remembered loudly.
In loving memory · Alhaji Alieu & Haja Isatu Wurie
Alhaji Alieu and Haja Isatu Wurie devoted their lives to something deceptively simple: being useful to other people.
Whether it was a child whose school fees they quietly paid, a neighbor who came for a meal, or a stranger they helped prepare for an important journey they treated charity not as a season, but as a way of being.
This foundation exists to make that way of being institutional. To take a private, daily generosity and give it a vehicle: scholarships for bright students from less fortunate backgrounds, charitable support for the most vulnerable, community-led initiatives that bring dignity, and a shield for travelers including pilgrims who deserve to journey in safety.
Their Story
In their own lives.
Alhaji Alieu Dausy Wurie and Haja Isatu Tejan Wurie met as teenagers in Freetown, Sierra Leone, and built a life together that spanned continents. After migrating to the United States, Alhaji Alieu earned his degree at Edinboro University and a Master's at the University of Maryland, College Park, while Haja Isatu earned her Bachelor of Nursing at Bowie State University and a Master's in Healthcare Management from the University of Colorado.
Married in Freetown, they shared over 40 years of love, faith, and partnership. They lived their faith through quiet, generous action: supporting their alma maters, local mosques, and communities in both Sierra Leone and Prince George's County, Maryland.
Their lifelong dream was to perform Hajj together. After saving for years, they entrusted a Maryland-registered travel agent with an all-inclusive pilgrimage package — only to be misled and left without the credentialed access and protections they had paid for. They passed away in Saudi Arabia in June 2024 while fulfilling that sacred promise to Allah. Their story became the spark behind the "Don't You Worry (Wurie) Act" in the Maryland General Assembly, legislation aimed at regulating sellers of travel and protecting future pilgrims and travelers from the same fate.
In the words of Alhaji Alieu and Haja Isatu "True love never dies."
