In the quiet corners of life where challenges loom large, the strength of the human spirit often shines the brightest. This is the story of Sakina, a widowed mother whose resilience in the face of adversity is a profound testament to the power of hope and the critical role of compassionate support. Sakina’s life changed irrevocably when she became a widow. With no income and the responsibilities of caring for Palwasha, her autistic daughter, the weight of their circumstances could have easily overwhelmed her. Autism presents unique challenges, from communication barriers to the need for constant supervision, which require not only time and patience but also resources that Sakina did not have. Yet, she found her strength renewed each day by the support of a community that chose to stand by her side.

“As a widow without any income source and caring for my autistic daughter, our household relies totally on the generosity of donors,” Sakina shares.

The simple truth in her words highlights a lifeline that many in similar situations depend on. It is through the kindness of strangers and the efforts of organisations like United Muslims that Sakina and Palwasha have been able to navigate their daily lives with a little less to worry about. Donations have not only provided them with basic necessities but have also brought services and interventions that are crucial for Palwasha’s development and well-being.
