Any one of us could be afflicted with an illness such as cancer. We receive many applications from those too ill to work to provide for their families as they go through intense treatments.
Along with them, their caregivers bear the burden with them, a significant number dedicating their time to provide essential support to their loved ones while also juggling childcare, bills and other responsibilities.
This can take a hit on families financially and mentally.
We received a call from a sister crying that she had no food in the fridge for her children. She was recovering from cancer treatment and surgery and was too weak to get out of bed.
Your Zakat provided her four children with food when they had no one else to turn to.If we don’t fulfil the obligation of helping her and others like her, who will?
