DEAH Day of Service honors 3 Muslim students gunned down at Chapel Hill apartment

To honor their work, the DEAH Day of Service was created to honor the three students who enjoyed giving back more than anything, according to loved ones.

"Even still, their legacy holds strong and the impact they have made will last for years done the line," said organizer Fariah Haque.

Haque, a fourth year dental student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said DEAH Day of Service was to honor and continue all the work Barakat and Yusor Abu-Salha started.

On Wednesday, 12 patients received free dental care at the Dyor clinic, which was established in memory of Barakat and Yusor Abu-Salha to provide free dental care for refugees and low-income families.

"We hope to continue their legacy through the Dyor clinic," said Haque.

It was a vision Barkat had, but was not able to see through himself.

"These are members of our very own community that would not have access to dental care to take care of their oral health, and here, we try to provide this at no-cost to be able to give them the opportunity," said Haque.

Wake Smiles partnered with the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Dentistry to offer the space and services such as cleanings, extractions and fillings.

"[We're] really proud that they are continuing this work for DEAH Day because the impact that one person can have really trickles down to thousands of people and it's evident in DEAH Day," said Wake Smiles executive director Sommer Wisher.

Wisher said many of the patients they see have never been to a dentist.

"I recall another patients just feeling heard and seen and realizing that their mouth is a part of their body and that they overall, weren't as healthy as they could be because their mouth wasn't healthy," said Wisher.
