Family In Need

Donation protected

My name is Zaheeda. I am a single parent of two boys and my disabled niece who I have been caring for since the age of 9. She had a brain tumor and during surgery had a stroke which has caused her to be blind, paralyzed on one side, and is prone to seizures. My older son, who is 19, worked during the day to contribute to household expenses. He watched the younger children so that I could work at night taking care of the elderly as a nurse's aid in order to provide for them. He has been the man of the house since his father passed away when he was 8 years old.


Recently my son was found guilty of something that I know that he did not do. I have used all of my savings in order to pay for a lawyer and I am now struggling to pay the bills for my other children and pay for his legal fees as well. I am no longer able to work as much as I used to because I no longer have a babysitter so I am asking for you to please open your heart and donate whatever you can, even if it is just $5. Thank you in advance to those of you who have opened your heart and decided to help me in my time of need.
