Mohammad Ismaeel Ashraf was like any other 9 year old boy. Full of joy and energy, he loved his life, his friends, his family and school. He loved reciting the Qur'an (Holy Book in Islam) and had started his Hifz (memorising the Qur'an) recently. Sadly, on 3rd march 2017, Ismaeel died suddenly from Anaphylaxis when he was at school. His teachers did not realise they had to administer his auto injection that would have saved his life.

The Ismaeel Foundation has been set up in memory of Ismaeel to raise awareness about the dangers of Anaphylaxis, while helping children in need around the world.

Ismaeel was a special part of our family... He was a much loved son, brother, nephew and grandson.
