We are looking for:

A colorful hiring announcement flyer for the Minnesota Deaf Muslim Community (MDMC). The flyer uses a bright blue and yellow background with curved shapes separating the two colors.

At the upper left, large yellow text reads “MDMC IS HIRING!” At the top center, black text reads “INTERESTED? APPLY ON THE QR CODE BELOW.” The MDMC logo appears in the upper-right corner, next to an illustration of a blue and black megaphone.

The flyer advertises three job opportunities:

Development Coordinator Job Description — with a QR code underneath.
Assistant Director Job Description — with a QR code underneath.
ASL Teacher Job Description — with a QR code underneath.

On the far right, black text reads “APPLY HERE” above a fourth QR code, which appears to be the application link.

At the bottom, large black text reads “JOIN OUT TEAM!” [The flyer appears to say “OUT” rather than “OUR.”]

There are black arrows pointing from each job title toward its corresponding QR code. The overall design is bright, energetic, and community-oriented, using yellow, blue, black, and white with bold typography and the megaphone graphic to emphasize the hiring announcement.

Update 1/28/25:

We're finally home!!!
We arrived at Minneapolis airport Wednesday evening.

Megan, who Ike knows through rugby, picked us up and drove us home from the airport.

Ike is so relieved and grateful to be home and back to his life. All of which has been made possible by everyone coming together and doing what they can and it has made all the difference.
The amount of love, care and support for Ike has been tremendous and we are both immeasurably grateful!

Apologies for not sharing the many updates. This experience has been an all-consuming whirlwind. Please do not mistake the lack of recent updates with a lack of gratitude. Nothing could be farther from the truth .
This could not of happened without all of you.

Much Love,
Helene and Ike

Ike has been released!!!
I was able to pick him up last night around 6:30pm.

Considering the horrible ordeal he had been through, he’s happy to be out, so grateful for prayers and the donations.

He had no idea about all the support and people standing with him. So grateful for everyone’s help to relieve many worries he had when waiting to be released.

Eternally grateful for everyone love, support and prayers!!
