It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Fathima Shaik, a gentle soul who brought warmth, light and love to all. Her passing was sudden and has left everyone who knew her deeply shocked and heartbroken. Fathima is survived by her loving husband, Subhani, their two wonderful children—Ruhi, age 14, and Sahil, age 12—and her devoted parents. She touched so many lives with her kindness, warmth, and generosity, and her absence is felt by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Our lives changed forever on February 23rd, 2026, when Fathima passed away due to a sudden cardiac arrest. In the wake of this tragedy, many people have reached out asking how they can help support her family. We have organized this fundraiser to help cover the funeral expenses and provide immediate support to her husband, Subhani, her children, and her parents as they navigate this incredibly difficult time. Your support will help ease some of the financial burden and allow the family to focus on healing and remembering Fathima.

If you are able, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser to help support Subhani, Ruhi, Sahil, and Fathima's parents. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference and is deeply appreciated. Thank you for keeping Fathima's family in your thoughts and for any support you can offer during this heartbreaking loss.
