Summary
Help Pay for 10 Year Old Girl's Medical Tests and Diagnosis
Story
Bosnian sister, single mother with 6 small children. She has hereditary spastic paraparesis (it's severe). She is 100% disabled. Her mother, sister and two brothers all have the same condition.
Unfortunately, now her 10 year old daughter has started to show the symptoms of the same illness which are increasingly progressing in the past 3 years.
She has 6 children, her eldest son 18 y/o is has finished the Alim course this year, her 14 y/o son who is starting Alim course in September this year bi ithnillah, and 4 girls, youngest is not even 4 y/o yet.
Her husband has abandoned her and their children years ago. She lives in a rented flat with her 6 little ones and has no help whatsoever. Truly in an appalling and desperate condition.
The eldest boy is studying Hifdh, and has nearly memorised the whole Qur'an Masha'Allah.
She is struggling with her own illness, plus looking after 6 children in appalling conditions with no financial support.
We are raising funds to help pay for her 10 year old daughter's medical bills, genetic tests that are extremely expensive, however, vital in order to get full diagnosis and, therefore, hopefully some benefits.
Cases like hers are the very reason we have founded our charity. It started from a very humble beginning with a handful of dedicated and truly amazing sisters. The following hadith is our motto and what brought us all together:
"It is one who can not find enough to suffice him, who is not known to be poor such that he is given charity, and he does not ask people for anything."
(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 4265 & Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1039)
Therefore, we seek the poor and needy who are too embarrassed, and their pride does not allow them to ask for help, yet they are in the most dire need.
