Aid a Struggling Family in Desperate Times

Assalamualaikum everyone,

I'm a 22-year-old mother in a very difficult financial situation. It all started when my husband's partner ran off with our money, and since then, things have only gotten worse. Our house is leased from the bank, so we have monthly payments to make. We have sold all our gold over the past six months just to survive.

It all seems supernatural (I don’t know if you believe in such things), but my in-laws' business has also gone to zero during this time. Our credit cards are maxed out, and despite being on a scholarship, I am struggling to find an unpaid internship for my Master’s curriculum due to the tough job market in our country.

My baby has to be fed formula because I can’t lactate due to stress. My husband has a serious stomach ailment that no allopathic doctors have been able to treat, so he is now seeing an Ayurvedic doctor. We have no source of income at all. In the last three weeks, my husband has had four accidents, and my father-in-law has had one as well. Even the brokerage deals my husband tries to set up never come through, or people sideline him, as if all doors are closed to us. SubhanAllah, it’s getting worse and has reached the point where I need to ask for financial help.

We have done everything, including ruqyah, and indeed Allah’s help is near, Aameen. But until then, I see no way out. I haven’t told my husband because he is a man of honor and wouldn't allow me to ask for help, but if I receive the amount, I will tell him that a friend helped and we will repay them InShaAllah. I promise to donate the money back when we are capable, InShaAllah. Aameen, Summa Aameen.
