Muuxi Adam and his wife Ilham Al-Khateeb, both students, were bidding farewell to relatives at the airport on Sunday, the morning after their wedding. They hadn't yet deposited the $4,280 they received in cash as wedding gifts, and the money was taken from Ilham's purse at the Tim Horton's when she put it down to carry some coffee and snacks and forget it there.
The fund will be handled by the U of W's financial services area and tax receipts will be issued for all donors. For information call 786-9229
