In Loving Memory of Marhem Yumna- Help Build a Well

With heavy hearts, we are raising funds to honor the life of our beloved auntie — a deeply loved daughter, a devoted mother, and a cherished sister — who tragically passed away after years of battling mental illness and depression.

She was once the soul of every room — full of life, laughter, and love. But over the last few years, that bright light dimmed. Depression stole so much from her. The woman who used to make everyone feel seen and loved slowly retreated into herself. From long, joyful conversations to silent days spent in her room, her world became smaller and more distant.

She became unrecognisable to us but even through her struggles she would find a way to make us smile. The last moments we spent with her, are ones to reminisce forever. We always found a way to bring a smile to her face when we caught her staring into the ceiling or counting her fingers- a habit that came along with her illness. Healing someone who is hurting so deeply inside is a journey that can feel impossible — especially when we couldn’t fully reach her anymore. It is a heartbreak that words can never truly express.

No parent should ever have to bury their baby. She was so young and had a whole life ahead of her.

To honor her life and give her continuous blessings, we want to build a water well in her name — a source of life and goodness that will help others long after we are gone. This well will be a form of Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity), bringing blessings to her soul every time someone drinks from it, every time it quenches a thirst in her name.

Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in believing she is now in a place of true peace- a place this world couldn't offer her.
