Funds for 4 orphaned children
Donation protected
We are raising funds for four Somali children, aged 9, 7 6 and 4, whose lives changed forever on the night of the 23rd of November.
Their mother was murdered by their mentally ill father, who has since been charged with her murder. In just one night, they have lost both their primary care providers - and that is something most of us here in the UK cannot relate to, particularly in such horrific circumstances.
The entire community are in deep shock and hundreds have come to visit their home. The children had a mother who was extremely popular in Ealing and surrounding areas (particularly in the Somali community) for her kind and caring nature, her devotion to the deen and how much time she spent in the Masjid, always with her four children by her side. Whilst nothing can ever interfere with the qadr of Allah, it was her kind, trusting nature, where she always saw the good in people and offered them her patience, that led to her death. Perhaps the plans of Allah are far greater for her than our limited understanding as human beings, or anything we could have given her on earth.
Sudden deaths are increasing and many of us are now familiar with GoFundMe pages to help raise funds since funerals are expensive. This campaign is for a few things:
1)We'd like to raise funds for these four young children who have lost everything they had ever known since their birth. The children all attended a fee-paying Islamic Primary School in West London, where we hope they can continue their education. The children love their school very much and we want to limit any more drastic changes in their life as much as we possible can.
2)We'd like to raise funds for the general upkeep as this is a situation they will be in for the rest of their lives.
We can assure you that every penny will be spent on these children in an efficient and beneficial way. You can send an email from the GoFundMe link, which I will reply to directly with any queries you may have.
We urge you to donate. No one of us know how we will leave this earth, or when we will leave this earth. This could have happened to anyone. Think of what you'd want for your children if you were to lose your life suddenly before you had the chance to make provisions for them. Their mother would never have neglected them if she had the chance to live today. These children have never before lived a day without their mother and whilst we cannot take away the pain they feel, we can at least strive to continue the hard work their mum put in for them day in, day out; the eldest is just 9 years old, yet she has memorised 13 Juz of the Qur'an, all of which she was taught by her parents. The younger children are in a similar position.
Please donate generously and may Allah in return reward you with all the things that you hope for and wish for in your own respective lives. May He keep you safe and protected and offer you a place in Jannah for helping a family of four young children. The Prophet S.A.W said, "None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself."
****I would like to announce a few updates:
The school have very kindly allowed for the children to continue their education for the rest of this academic year for free. However, they still have many years of school from now which there are currently no funds for. If anyone wants to make a separate arrangement to pledge to pay any school fees without using the GoFundMe site, send me an email and I will get you directly in touch with the family.
Also, can I kindly request that nobody contact the family about this GoFundMe page. They are currently greiving a huge loss and it is a painfully difficult time for them. This page is being managed by very close family friends and if you want to discuss anything on this page, please contact us and not the immediate family.
And keep sharing!
