Help the victim of the Tillett Close fire

In light of the devastating residential fire that occurred in Brent, North West London, in the early hours of May 24th 2025 - which has claimed the lives of four people, we are raising a fund to help the surviving father, Isa Mikaiel, who has lost his wife and three of his children in the fire.

Usman is a close friend and childhood neighbour and has quite literally lost everything—his partner in life, his beautiful children, and all of his possessions. It’s the kind of pain most of us can’t even fathom. On top of this overwhelming grief, he’s now confronted with the harsh task of arranging funerals, securing housing, and managing daily life - all without sufficient financial means to cope.

That’s why I’ve set up this fundraiser. We can’t take away his heartbreak, but we can help ease some of the immediate pressure. The money raised will go directly to him to cover funeral costs, temporary housing, clothing, daily essentials, and whatever support he needs to get through the coming days, weeks, and months.

If you’re able to give, whether it’s a little or a lot, it would mean the world to him and help him greatly. And if you can’t donate right now, please consider sharing this page so it can reach others who might be in a position to help.

I am authorised tocollect the funds on Usman's behalf and will forward to him directly as the ultimate beneficiary.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with my friend during what is truly the darkest time of his life. Every bit of love and support makes a difference.
