A family in need

[SuBMiSSioN]

A sister and her family whom I know personally are currently struggling financially. They were unable to pay their rent last month, and Alhumdullillaah their landlord has agreed to allow them to pay it next month, so they basically need to pay two months rent by the 1st April inshaa'Allaah, along with a couple of other bills. I ask you all to help this family inshaa'Allaah, as it's become really difficult for both the husband and wife to work. They may need ongoing help, but if we can raise the money needed to pay their rent off by the above date I know it would save them a lot of heartache.

If we could raise $3000 in the next couple of weeks inshaa'Allaah I can pass it on to the sister before the 1st April so that they can take care of this debt that's currently on their shoulders. Please also make dua'a for them, as they have young children, and I know it's been truly difficult on them all.

The account details to donate to are:

[mod: no longer collecting donations, Alhumdulillaah]

Wats the diff between using paypal or direct deposit?

[aussiemu]

Not much except some people prefer Paypal nowadays. Also some people have donated from overseas as well using Paypal. People are used to paying things for paypal nowadays as you just put in the email and send money instead of filling in BSB numbers etc. When we had the link up the top during charity collections like for the pakistan relief etc most of our donations were via paypal and not direct deposit so I guess a lot of people prefer it. I can't set it up at the moment till I go make an account for AM first.

Alhumdulillaah there's $950 in the account atm, including the payments that came through paypal.

We're a third of the way there, I know we can dig deeper than that inshaa'Allaah and raise these funds. May Allaah reward you all tenfold.

[SuBMiSSioN]

$1,990 has been raised so far mashaa'Allaah tabaarak'Allaah. Yalla, not much to go inshaa'Allaah. Please try and dig deep as the sooner I can pass the money onto the family the better inshaa'Allaah.

[SuBMiSSioN]

$2090 has been raised for the family Alhumdulillaah. We just need a little over $900 to reach our goal inshaa'Allaah. As I said earlier, the sooner we can raise this money for the family, the better. They really are struggling and need our every dua'a to help them through this tough time.

On the authority of Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said:

"Whosoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah will remove from him one of the griefs of the Day of Judgment. Whosoever alleviates [the lot of] a needy person, Allah will alleviate [his lot] in this world and the next. Whosoever shields a Muslim, Allah will shield him in this world and the next. Allah will aid a servant [of His] so long as the servant aids his brother. Whosoever follows a path to seek knowledge therein, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. No people gather together in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, without tranquility descending upon them, mercy enveloping them, the angels surrounding them, and Allah making mention of them amongst those who are with Him. Whosoever is slowed down by his actions will not be hastened forward by his lineage." [Muslim]
