When Khowlah and her family were referred to NZF through a Mosque in Sydney 18 months ago, their daughter was in the ICU and they did not even understand why apart from the fact that she was sick.
Little did they realize that her health was deteriorating rapidly due to the challenging living conditions they were forced in the past few months.
They were moving out of transitional housing and most of the initial assistance was wearing off. Khowlah very quickly realised the rising costs of almost daily hospital visits, rent, utilities and other medical needs was going to be very tough to manage. They were not allowed to work until they studied English for six months. Her husband could drive but they didn’t have a car.
How did NZF step in to help, and how do we similarly help 1000s of cases via Zakat locally?
