Salaam, my name is Maryam. After the unfortunate unexpected passing of my father, mine and my siblings lives completely changed. He was only 54 years old and had so much more life to see and live but Allah swt called him back. He was the only support we ever had especially after already losing our mother to cervical cancer 7 years ago. Me and my two sisters now live with extended family who aren’t financially stable enough to provide for us as they are on low income.

My brother is currently in a care home due to mental health reasons after the death of our father. I need this money to be able to cover both mine and my siblings needs especially as my sister is an SEN child. The government is not providing any help and our Child Benefit just about covers what we need. My sister is starting secondary school in September and I need to be able to purchase her necessities.

My late father also has unsettled debt which I need to pay off, however I don’t have the means to pay, neither does any of my family.

Additionally I need to purchase a car. This is a necessity as no one in my immediate family drives and I need to be that physical support for my siblings especially as my brother has been placed in Leister.

Finally, I need to purchase a headstone for my father grave, this has been something I have been saving for, however with no income the cost is too high and no one in my family is willing to help out.

Our situation is extremely difficult and I really need some support. Any support is greatly appreciated!
