Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu Dear Donors,

My name is Raziya, a widow and mother of three children. Ten years ago, my husband passed away in a tragic accident, leaving me to raise our children alone. Since then, life has been a daily struggle, but with faith in Allah, I continue to strive for a better future for my family.

To support my children, I currently run a tiny store from my house window, using just a small table to sell basic items. However, my earnings are very limited, and managing household expenses, rent, and my children’s education has become increasingly difficult, especially as I suffer from arthritis, which makes standing and working for long hours painful.

My younger son, who is studying in the 2nd year of his degree at Indian Academy College, helps by working as a food delivery boy after college hours. My other two children are still in school and are working hard to study well despite our financial hardships.

I wish to start a small home-based grocery store, so I can earn a stable halal livelihood and provide for my children with dignity. With a little financial support, I can expand my store, purchase necessary stock, and build a sustainable source of income for our family.

I humbly appeal to the Muslim community to come forward and help me in this noble cause. Your kind Zakat, Sadaqah, or Lillah contributions can empower a struggling widow to become self-reliant and provide for her children with honor.

May Allah reward you abundantly for your generosity and ease your difficulties in this world and the Hereafter. JazakAllahu Khairan.
