Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, Dear donors

My name is Gulnaz Jahan, and I am a mother writing with deep hope and humility to seek your kind support for my daughter, Aliya Fatima.

Aliya is 16 years old and currently studying in Grade 10. She is a bright and determined child who dreams of completing her education despite the severe challenges our family is facing. Her school fees for the academic year 2025–2026 amount to ₹54,000, and unfortunately, we are unable to pay even a part of this amount.

Aliya has been suffering from diabetes since the age of 9. To survive and live normally, she must take four insulin injections every day, which places a constant emotional and financial burden on our family. Along with educational expenses, her medical needs are unavoidable and ongoing.

My husband is a heart patient, and due to paralysis affecting half of his body, he is unable to work or earn. As a family, our source of income is extremely limited. We tried to support ourselves by starting a small business of selling PG honey, but the income from this is barely enough to meet our daily household and medical expenses.

As a mother, it pains me deeply to watch my daughter struggle while I am unable to support her education. I fear that without timely help, her studies may come to a halt, not due to lack of talent, but because of financial hardship.

Today, I turn to my Muslim brothers and sisters, seeking your compassion and generosity. Your Zakat, Sadaqah, or any form of halal support can help secure Aliya’s education and give her a chance at a better, dignified future.

May Allah reward you abundantly for every act of kindness and ease your difficulties just as you ease ours.

Jazak Allahu Khair.
