One Challenge After Another

June 10, 2024

When Zohaib received a $1000 gas bill, he was shocked and had no way of paying. Separated from his wife and burdened with an array of medical problems, Zohaib found it impossible to meet this expense.

Recently, his rent had increased, and despite being permitted to work only 15 hours a week due to his health, he struggled to fulfill even this limited commitment. Additionally, he faced challenges finding employment willing to accommodate his availability for just 2-3 days a week.

Having sought assistance from NZF in the past, Zohaib reached out again for support. After reapplying, we confirmed his eligibility for Zakat and provided him with the support needed to alleviate the burden of the gas bill, which he could not afford, even with a payment plan.

It’s with your Zakat we are helping individuals like Zohaib navigate the challenges of the rising cost of living.
