Emergency

A family has lost its mother. A 17-year-old brother is now trying to become their source of hope. My name is Muqaddas. I am 19 years old. I live with my younger sister, my 17-year-old brother Imran, and my 14-year-old younger brother. For years, our mother was the person who kept our family going. She worked in other people’s homes, washing clothes and cleaning carpets, and used her hard-earned income to pay our rent, buy food, and meet our everyday needs. Her work was difficult, but she carried the responsibility of our family with determination. Our family had already been facing financial hardship for years. Our grandfather had taken on debts while trying to provide for the family. Eventually, we separated from our grandfather’s household, and our mother took responsibility for raising and supporting us. Our father is still alive, but he no longer lives with us or provides for our household. He has remained with his own father and is working to help repay the debts our grandfather accumulated. Because of this, the responsibility for our daily needs fell entirely on our mother. Then, just a few days ago, our mother passed away. With her death, we lost not only our mother, but also the only stable source of income our family had. Today, Imran, at only 17 years old, is trying to take responsibility for his siblings. He is willing to do any honest work that can give our family a stable income. At the moment, he has a small handcart and sometimes transports people’s goods from the wholesale market to their homes. But this work is irregular. Some days he earns enough to help us buy food; on other days, there is no work and we struggle to eat. We live in a rented home and pay 3,000 AFN every month for rent. We also have 8,000 AFN of debt from our mother’s funeral. Without a stable income, even these basic costs have become difficult for us to manage. Imran does not want our family to depend on people’s kindness forever. He wants to work. He wants to earn. He wants to be able to pay the rent, put food on our table, and take care of his younger brother and sisters. That is why we are asking for your support. Our goal is to help Imran establish a small and sustainable source of income—such as a small food business or another suitable livelihood opportunity that matches his abilities and the local market. The support will help provide the equipment and initial capital needed to start working, while also giving our family temporary assistance with essential food and rent as Imran begins earning. This campaign is not simply about helping a family survive another difficult month. It is about giving a young person the opportunity to become financially independent and rebuild the stability his family lost when their mother passed away. If you support Imran, you are not only helping provide food today. You are helping create the possibility of an income tomorrow. You can help turn Imran’s willingness to work into a real opportunity. Your support can help this family move from uncertainty toward stability, from dependence toward independence, and from loss toward a new beginning. For Imran and his siblings, your support could be the opportunity they need to stand on their own feet again.
