Testimonial from Sr Jessica

The NZF alhumdulilah has helped my family and I in so many ways. I feel there are no words that could ever show my gratitude. A couple of years after I converted to islam I then married. Shortly after I married I fell pregnant. He became very abusive. Due to the abuse I had no choice but to leave for my safety and for the safety of my children and unborn baby.

Nowhere to Go

Alif has no refugee status and his foot condition requires medical care, both of which prevent him from working. As of September 12, 2014, they were evicted from their home because they couldn't keep up with their rent. Alif’s health got worse in a short amount of time, and doctors were recommending amputation, but he opted out for a natural treatment instead. Jobless, homeless, and with poor health conditions, what originally was a way out of their own country to safety and security became a huge burden of one worry after the other.

Canadian Government Applications for Assistance

Our applicants at National Zakat Foundation are at the lowest point in their lives: they are struggling to pay rent, get a job, and even put food on the table. Some may have been forced to flee their homes because of domestic violence, or flee their country because of war.

Hunger in Canada

Reflecting is a key tool in the lives of Muslims, so as we reflect upon our days at work, school, or wherever you spent your day, lets not forget to reflect for those that won’t be able to break their fast due to poverty or food shortages. Some of these people muster enough courage to seek help - and NZF is there to help them. Please continue to support us so we can all work towards alleviating poverty at our doorstep.
