Your Support Will Ease Tarik’s Pain, Restore His Mobility, and Give Him the Chance to Live With Dignity and Hope Again


Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem

"Whoever saves one life, it is as if he has saved all of mankind." (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:32)

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

I am Fatima, a single mother of five and the primary caregiver to my beloved son, Tarik. For 33 years, I have devoted every moment of my life to his care, but today, I am reaching out to you, my community, for support in our greatest time of need.

Tarik was born with cerebral palsy, a condition that has limited his mobility and independence since birth. Despite countless treatments and prayers, his health has worsened, and doctors have told us surgery is no longer an option. His future depends entirely on the care and resources I can provide, but after years of sacrifice, my strength—physically, emotionally, and financially—is wearing thin.

I am exhausted, battling caregiver burnout and adrenal crisis. A betrayal also robbed us of $120,000 meant for Tarik’s care, leaving me struggling to provide the basics he needs. Yet, I remain steadfast in my mission to give Tarik a life of dignity and comfort.

This is why I am turning to you—to help rebuild what was lost and create a brighter future for my son.

 


 

How Your Support Will Help Tarik
 

Every donation will directly transform Tarik’s life in the following ways:

Accessible Vehicle ($81,500)

  • A custom wheelchair-accessible van to safely transport Tarik to appointments and outings.

Physical Therapy & Healing Therapies ($20,000)

  • Regular therapies to ease his pain, improve mobility, and strengthen his body.

Medications & Medical Supplies ($10,000)

  • Essential medications and equipment to manage his condition and ensure his comfort.

Respite Care & Nursing Support ($25,000)

  • Professional caregiving support to lighten my load and allow me moments of rest.

Moments of Joy & Enrichment ($10,000)

  • Activities and adaptive tools to bring joy and normalcy to Tarik’s life.

Emergency Fund ($5,000)

  • For unexpected medical or caregiving expenses.

Debt Recovery ($55,000)

  • To repay caregiving debts incurred after the theft, restoring stability to our lives.
     

 

 

Why This Matters

For over three decades, I have cared for Tarik with unwavering love, lifting him when he cannot move, feeding him when he cannot feed himself, and praying every night for his relief. But even the strongest hearts need help.

Your generosity will:

  • Give Tarik the resources to live with dignity and comfort.
  • Allow me, as his caregiver, to recover and continue supporting him.
  • Restore hope and stability to our family.

  1. Donate Now: Every contribution makes a life-changing difference.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing by us in this journey. May Allah reward you abundantly, protect your loved ones, and make your hardships lighter.

A Heartfelt Thank You and Personal Update

Dear Beloved Donors,

 

I want to start by thanking you from the bottom of my heart for your incredibly generous support. Your kindness has touched me deeply, and I am filled with gratitude for each of you. Your donations have made it possible for me to navigate through this challenging time, and I will always remember your support as a beautiful act of compassion.

 

As many of you know, I have been facing a serious illness over the past few weeks. The pneumonia has been difficult to overcome, and I have been struggling with pain, fatigue, and a sense of deep malaise. It’s been hard not being able to function at my usual capacity or support Tarik in the way I always do, but through this, Allah has taught me an invaluable lesson in surrender.

 

In these moments of struggle, I have learned to reflect deeply and draw closer to Allah. I have felt His presence more than ever before, and through this illness, I have found comfort in trusting His plan for me. This journey has been humbling, reminding me of the beauty of reliance on Allah, and the need to pause, rest, and reconnect with what truly matters.

 

The doctors have said that it will take about 8 weeks for me to rebuild my lungs, strength, and stamina. It will be a slow journey, but I am hopeful, grateful, and at peace with the process, knowing that every trial comes with an opportunity for growth and spiritual closeness.

 

But even in this time of illness, I want you to know that I have continued to pray for you, my beloved donors. I have prayed for you and your families—for your health, happiness, and success. I have prayed that Allah fills your life with joy, peace, and abundance. And in my moments of reflection, I have raised my hands in supplication for your strength and well-being.

 

My dear friends, I make this special dua for you:

"O Allah, make their lives filled with peace and blessings. O Allah, expand their provision, improve their health, and bless their families and their work. Grant them all that they wish for in this life and the Hereafter. Ameen."

 

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Your generosity and support continue to lift my spirit, and I pray that Allah rewards you abundantly for your kindness and compassion. 

 

Please know that I am deeply appreciative of each of you, and I look forward to the day when I am back on my feet, with renewed energy, to continue supporting Tarik and serving our community.

 

With love and gratitude,
Fatima

My Mom is Sick, But You’re Helping Me So Much

Salaam, it’s Tarik.


 

One of my helpers, Maryam, is helping me write this today because I have something really important to tell you.


 

My mom is really sick. She got this really bad kind of COVID, and now she can’t get up or help me like she always does. She’s really tired and has to take a lot of medicine. It makes me sad because she’s always the one who takes care of me, and now she can’t.


 

But guess what? Because of you, I’m okay.


 

The helpers you gave me are making sure I have everything I need. They help me move, take care of me, and make sure I’m safe while my mom gets better. You made that happen.


 

I just want to say THANK YOU.


 

You are like superheroes to me. I don’t even know how to say how grateful I am. My mom always tells me that when you help someone, Allah helps you even more. So I pray that Allah gives you the best gifts ever.


 

Please make dua for my mom. I really, really want her to get better soon.


 

Love,

Tarik


 

P.S. If you can, please share my story with others. My mom always says kindness spreads like sunshine, and you’ve already made my world brighter.

Assalaam u alaikum 

It's been less than 48 hours and we are almost at $2000. 

 

You didn’t just donate—you answered a dua, became a lifeline, and gave us hope when we needed it most.


 

Because of you, Tarik and I no longer feel alone in this journey. Your generosity is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, Allah sends people like you to shine His light.


 

We prayed for you. The moment your support came through, we raised our hands and asked Allah (SWT) to bless you with barakah in your life, health, and wealth. You are being remembered—not just in our duas but in the legacy you are helping us create for Tarik.

Here is a special video Tarik made for you 


 

But this is just the beginning. To bring Tarik the care and dignity he deserves, we need to keep the momentum going. Would it be too much trouble to ask you to share our campaign with your family, friends, and community. The power of your voice could be the key to reaching others who want to help.

Here is the LINK to share


 

You are part of this story now, and because of you, Tarik’s future looks a little brighter. Thank you from the depths of our hearts.


 

May Allah reward you beyond measure for your kindness and compassion.


 

With duas and gratitude,

Fatima
