Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, Dear Donors,

My name is Rabiyathul Bashriya, and I am reaching out with a humble request for support during one of the most challenging phases of my life. I come to you not only as a mother but as a widow who is striving to keep her family together after a heartbreaking loss.

On 14th March 2020, my beloved husband, Late As Meera Sahib, suddenly passed away. His death left our family devastated and placed the entire responsibility of raising our children on my shoulders. Since that difficult day, life has been a continuous struggle as I try my best to provide for my two daughters, Raihana Rose and Riya Haseena.

Currently, I work as a daily wage labourer in Chennai, taking up any work I can find to support my family. However, the income from daily labour is uncertain and barely enough to cover basic household needs and my daughters’ education.

In the hope of creating a stable and dignified livelihood, I now wish to start a small dress retail business. With great determination to become financially independent, I have already gathered quotations from reliable suppliers for purchasing an initial stock of quality clothing items. With this stock, I plan to sell dresses at affordable prices within the community and generate a steady income to support my family.

Starting this small business will allow me to move away from uncertain daily labour and build a sustainable source of income that will help me provide better care and education for my daughters.

However, due to my current financial situation, I am unable to arrange the initial investment required to purchase the clothing stock. Therefore, I humbly request kind-hearted donors to support my cause. Your generous contribution—no matter how small—can help me start this business and rebuild my life with dignity.

Your kindness will not only help a widow stand on her feet again but will also secure a better future for two young daughters.

May Allah reward your generosity and bless you abundantly for supporting those in need.
