I am raising funds for the father of my daughter’s Quran teacher in Karachi, Pakistan. He is a kind 69-year-old man who was recently rushed to the hospital with chest pain. Doctors have told the family that three of his heart arteries are blocked, and without a triple bypass surgery, he is at great risk of a fatal heart attack.

This is not just about one life. He is the main support for his entire family — children and grandchildren who rely on him every single day. Losing him would be devastating for all of them, emotionally and financially.

There is a saying in our religion: “Whoever saves one life, it is as if they have saved all of humanity.” These words remind us of the profound impact we can have when we step forward to help another human being in need.

The family is very poor and cannot afford such a major surgery on their own. Your support, no matter how small, can make the difference between life and death for him — and bring hope to an entire family who depends on him.

Please give what you can and share this cause with others who may wish to help. Together, we can give this father a second chance at life and more precious years with his loved ones.
