[3][4] On 1 February 2020, three of Daniel and Leila's Abdallah's children walked with their four other relatives down Bettington Road, Oatlands, to get ice cream.
[9] Three days after the deaths, Leila Abdallah publicly forgave the driver, stating "Right now I can't hate him [...] I think in my heart to forgive him, but I want the court to be fair.
Local Member of Parliament Geoff Lee, Prime Minister (at the time) Scott Morrison, and Oppositions Leader Chris Minns criticised the move, Lee calling it "cold hearted", and Morrison stating that the move was "distressing", and that he was talking to Australian Premier Dominic Perrottet about the denial.
[29] On 1 February 2025, the fifth annual i4Give Day was held, during which Danny and Leila Abdallah launched the 4 Steps to Forgiveness at the Calyx in Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens.
This four-step framework—acknowledge, accept, surrender, and voice forgiveness—was named in honor of their four lost children and offers a structured approach to processing grief.
The event was hosted by former Prime Minister Scott Morrison and attended by NSW Premier Chris Minns, along with the parents of the jailed driver.
Many members of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Australian Rugby League team were also in attendance, who had previously supported the i4Give Cup in 2022.
It is a joint initiative between the Australian Rugby League team Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and City of Parramatta, in order to support the family and their decision to forgive.
The event was attended by the Bulldog's Chief-Executive Aaron Warburton, and former players Tim Mannah, Terry Lamb and Hazem El Masri.
[45] In August 2024, junior rugby league clubs Carlingford Cougars and Dundas Shamrocks introduced their own version of the i4Give Cup, inspired by the Abdallah family's message of forgiveness.
The initiative was driven by a friendship between Danny Abdallah and junior coach Oliver Samaha, aiming to promote unity and sportsmanship among young players.
