My Story – In My Own Words
My husband passed away in 2022 after fighting kidney disease for two long years. He was on dialysis. A transplant was planned, but his body couldn’t take it anymore. During those two years, everything we had was spent on his treatment. We sold our car. We sold my jewelry. We borrowed money from relatives. Still, I lost him.
Today, I am alone with six children.
Saleem (26) – graduate, still unemployed
Saad (21) – studying Cyber Security in university on scholarship
Sughrah (19) – college complete, no job
Sami (16) – in school
Wali (12) – in school
Saba (10) – in school
Right now, we live in a house that was given to my husband by his company. After his death, they allowed us to stay for some time. But now they have given us a clear deadline: 2 May 2026. After that, we must leave.
We do have our own house, but it is not livable at all.
Construction started when my husband was alive. Then his illness came. Then the debt. Then his death. Everything stopped. Today, that house has:
A roof that is not waterproof
No proper floor
No doors or windows
No bathroom fittings
No electricity
No kitchen
No drainage
No water tank
It is only a structure. My children cannot live there safely.
How We Are Surviving
I receive a pension of 50,000 PKR per month.
My eldest son does daily labor when he finds work and earns around 800 PKR a day.
We still carry a debt of 1,000,000 PKR from medical treatment.
I have nothing left to sell. If I had anything, I would never be here asking for help.
My Daily Fear
Soon we will be forced to leave this house. And every day I keep asking myself: Where will we go?
How will I manage rent, food, school, and bills together?
How will I protect my children?
I have a house but I cannot live in it.
My Only Wish
I don’t want a big life.
I don’t want luxury.
I only want:
A safe roof
A clean floor
A small bathroom
A simple kitchen
Electricity and water
And a door I can lock at night without fear
If this house becomes livable, my life will become stable. I can struggle with food. I can work hard. But without a safe home, everything feels impossible.
I am not here for sympathy. I am here because I truly have no other door left to knock on.
If you can help us, even a little you will not just be helping me. You will be protecting six children from becoming homeless.
From a broken mother’s heart thank you for even reading this.
How Your Donation Will Be Used
I want to be very clear and honest about where your help will go. Every rupee will be used only for my children and to make our unfinished house safe and livable.
Your support will be used for:
Roof waterproofing – so rain and heat don’t destroy the house
Floor completion – so my children are not forced to live on broken cement
Doors and windows – for safety, privacy, and protection
Bathroom fittings – for basic hygiene and dignity
Electric wiring & lights – so my children can study at night
Small kitchen setup – to cook food safely
Water tank & drainage – for clean water and sanitation
Along with construction, donations will also help with our basic survival needs, including:
Daily food and necessity for my children
Very basic furniture (beds/mats, stove, small table)
School expenses (fees, uniforms, books, shoes)
If any amount is left after making the house livable, it will be kept safely for my daughter’s future marriage, so I can fulfill this responsibility with dignity when the time comes.
I promise that nothing will be wasted. This help is not for comfort or luxury — it is only for shelter, food, education, and my children’s future safety.

We are still at 0 progress, and every day becomes harder for us. Our home remains unfinished, and the children and I continue to struggle with basic needs while trying to stay strong. If you’re reading this, even a small donation or a simple share can make a real difference. Your kindness could be the first step that moves this fundraiser forward. We truly have no support yet — you might be the person who helps us take the very first step. Please consider helping or sharing. It means more than I can express.
