A Brush with Life: The Sudden Strokes

February 20, 2023

The story of Tayib is a powerful reminder of the countless obstacles and barriers that our elderly community members face on a daily basis right here in Australia. When Tayib suffered a stroke, his life was turned upside down, and he and his family found themselves struggling to make ends meet. Despite already living on a tight budget, the mounting bills and expenses left them feeling helpless and alone.

Thankfully, Tayib's daughter reached out to us at the National Zakat Foundation where we stepped in and provided the support that Tayib and his family needed to get back on their feet. Through local Zakat, we were able to cover essential expenses such as bill payments and food vouchers, providing them with a lifeline during their time of need.

But Tayib's story is not unique, and there are countless other elderly community members who are facing similar struggles. If you or someone you know is in a similar situation, please don't hesitate to contact us. Zakat paid locally is their right and we're here to support the most vulnerable members of our community, young and old. We are committed to making sure that no one is left to suffer alone.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you or someone you know is in need of assistance.
