Memory of Zakaria Chowdhury (AKA Zak)

Hi my name is Maggie Lumsden, Dhina Kajani and I are setting up a Go Fund Page in memory of Zakaria Chowdhury known to friends and family as Zak.

Shimul Hossain is Zak's mum, Shimul is a Family Support Worker who works for Newcastle City Council, Childrens Services

On the 7th February Zak went missing from home, Shimul described Zak as a kind and outgoing lad as she made heartfelt pleas for him to return home.

On 14th March Zak's body was located in the River Tyne at Newcastle Quayside, the tragic outcome that no mother ever wants to receive.

Shimul has dedicated her career to helping others and never imagined she would find herself in this nightmare of losing Zak

We would like to be able to provide Shimul with a tree to plant in her garden alongside seating furniture in memory of Zak

Following this we hope to have ongoing discussions with Shimul that will help identify areas that will hopefully raise suicide prevention.

We hope to find ways to support Shimul in expressing Zak will never be forgotten
