<div>Hello, my name is Zahra. I’m raising funds for my dear friends, an inspiring Deaf couple with three children, who lost their life savings to a dishonest builder.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Happened:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ahmed, a devoted father, teacher, and much‑loved member of the Deaf community, saved for years to extend the family’s tiny kitchen and make more space for their autistic son. After careful research, Ahmed and his wife chose a company called Daniel’s Building and Construction and agreed on a £60,000 price. (<a href="https://www.danielsbuildingandconstruction.co.uk" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.danielsbuildingandconstruction.co.uk</a>)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Soon after work began, the builder:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Demolished the kitchen first, leaving the family without cooking facilities.
</li>
<li>Pressured them for rapid payments, eventually demanding more than double the original quote—£72,000 in total.
</li>
<li>Missed appointments and sent threatening messages when asked for explanations.
</li>
<li><br />
</li>
</ul>
<div>After Ahmed asked his architect (Michael Pagliaroli Architects Ltd) for help, the architect generously gave up his time to investigate further and discovered that the builder was, in fact, a scammer. The builder had a history of misconduct and had previously been disqualified by the courts. Please see the links below for evidence:

</ul>
<div><a href="https://www.miragenews.com/court-bans-builder-after-failing-to-carry-out-889223/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.miragenews.com/court-bans-builder-after-failing-to-carry-out-889223/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.miragenews.com/court-bans-builder-after-failing-to-carry-out-889223/</a></a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A council inspector later confirmed the work was unsafe and ordered the entire extension to be torn down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Situation Now:
</div>
<ul>
<li>No safe kitchen or living space—the ground floor is unusable.
</li>
<li>No savings left - all funds went to the builder.
</li>
<li>Extra costs—they need a solicitor and regular British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters to pursue legal action, but can’t afford either.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help
</div>
<div>Your donation will be used for:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1. Legal fees to recover their lost money.
</div>
<div>2. BSL interpreter costs so they can communicate clearly with professionals.
</div>
<div>3. Basic living expenses such as food while their kitchen is rebuilt.
</div>
<div>4. Reconstruction of a safe, accessible kitchen when possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ahmed has spent his career bridging the gap between Deaf and hearing communities by teaching BSL. Now he needs our support to bridge a gap in his own home and rebuild a safe space for his family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any amount—large or small—will make a real difference. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this appeal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and for standing with this remarkable family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Warm regards,
</div>
<div>Zahra
</div>
