A Small Help for a Big Struggle❗
Note: I know this is a bit lengthy, but the story you are about to read reflects the painful reality of an elderly Baba Ji who chose to struggle on the roads for halal rizq instead of begging before people.
*Assalam O Alaikum,*
During my recent travel, I stopped at a local bus stand to catch a bus when I noticed an elderly Baba Ji selling small packets of dry food items. His weak body was trembling badly while walking, yet he was still trying hard to earn something for survival.
After some time, he sat on the roadside to take a little rest. I went to him to buy a few items and started talking with him. What I learned deeply touched my heart.
Baba Ji shared that he has no grown-up children or family members to support him in this old age. Allah blessed him with children very late in life. He currently has only two young children — a daughter studying in 5th class and a son studying in 2nd class. The family lives in a small rented mud house in a backward village of Mansehra.
Despite his fragile health and old age, he is forced to go out daily and sell these small items just to arrange food for his children and manage basic household expenses. His body was shivering continuously, yet the burden of responsibility still pushes him to work every day.
After listening to his story, initially we have decided to support this deserving family atleast for the next 6 months by helping them with:
• Monthly ration
• Children’s school fees and educational expenses
• Medicines and healthcare
• House rent
• Other basic necessities of life
For this purpose, *we are aiming to raise PKR 250,000. After this support we will try to raise funds and setup him a small shop near to his house so he don't needs to go on roads for daily livelihood.*
Your small contribution can become a source of relief for this struggling father and hope for these innocent children. Let us come together and support this family in their difficult time.
Donations, Zakat, and Sadaqah are welcome. Every contribution matters. ❤️
