I couldn’t grieve because of all the stress I was under.

I couldn’t grieve because of all the stress I was under. The NZF aid was a beacon of light in the darkness of my grief.

When my husband could finally sponsor me to come to Canada, all I could think about was being together as a family and building our life together. I didn’t know what was coming.

Six months after my arrival in Canada, my husband died unexpectedly.

The world came crashing down around us. We relied on him for everything and had to borrow money from others just for my husband’s funeral costs. My son was in pain from a dental emergency, but even that was impossible to pay for.

I couldn’t grieve because of all the stress I was under. Between taking care of my son, trying to find a way to pay back the loans I had taken for his funeral and grieving my husband, I was emotionally exhausted and the depression was overwhelming.

During this time, the National Zakat Foundation was able to help me pay off the loan and provided me with gift cards for groceries.

Alhamdulillah, their aid was a beacon of light in the darkness of my grief.
