Summary
- Couple lost three children and niece in a tragic car crash.
- They publicly forgave the drug-impaired driver, Samuel Davidson.

The Abdallah family has bravely shared their journey of profound loss and extraordinary forgiveness following a devastating car crash in western Sydney. In February 2020, their three children and niece were tragically killed by a driver under the influence of drugs and alcohol. This unimaginable tragedy nearly tore their marriage apart, with the couple admitting they've been on the 'brink of separation many times' due to the immense grief, including a miscarriage and a robbery.
Despite their pain, the Abdallahs chose to publicly forgive the driver, Samuel Davidson, who is now serving a 15-year sentence. Their decision to forgive has had a far-reaching impact, inspiring others to find peace. Danny has met with Davidson multiple times, even praying together, fostering a unique relationship. Leila has also offered to forgive him face-to-face, highlighting the depth of their compassion.
Building on their experience, the couple established the i4Give Foundation to champion the message of forgiveness. They mark February 1 as i4give day, encouraging others to choose forgiveness. Having welcomed two more daughters, they emphasize moving forward, stating, 'Your past has to be the size of the rear-view mirror. Your future should be as big as the front windscreen.'
