Sanad Stories: Shahzad Mahmood

In this third post, you will learn about Shazad Mahmood. Described by his older sister as a bundle of trouble in his childhood years, he is a father of three beautiful children now and is passionate about doing his part for preserving the cycle of good character that can live on in future generations. His motivation includes first and foremost his own children. Shahzad is a friend, a professional and a generous/respected individual in the South Florida community. His sincerity is palpable as his words take a life of their own. We hope you are inspired by Shahzad, because we certainly were!
- How has the work of Sanad Trust impacted you and what meaning does it have for you?
Sanad Trust is the only faith-based organization of its kind in South Florida. It provides youth with a strong foundation in character-based education, focuses on the needs of elders in our community, and serves as a safe haven and gathering space for the entire family unit. Sanad’s mission and vision directly align with my family’s own goals for personal and spiritual growth. It serves as our home away from home, and reminds us how blessed we are to be connected to an organization that is impacting an entire community for generations to come.
- What importance, if any, do you see of building an endowment for Sanad Trust?
Sanad Trust’s transformative work and impact on the lives of so many in our community is reason enough to ensure that the organization can continue to drive its mission forward. This is only possible if there is a permanent source of income continually supporting the programming that is at the heart of the organization.
- Why do you support Sanad Trust?
Simply put, I support Sanad Trust because Sanad Trust supports me in so many ways. Every member of my family has benefited from what Sanad Trust offers. Currently a member of the sandwich generation, I highly value the fact that my parents, myself and my wife, and my children can all benefit from the variety of community programs provided.
Lend your generous hand. Let’s build tomorrow, today!
