Emergency Fund for My Son's Eyes & Family Survival

Assalam-o-Alaikum

My name is Muhammad Zahid Iqbal, and for the past five years, I have proudly built a career as an online Urdu teacher on Preply, supporting my family through my passion for teaching. Without any warning or explanation, my account was suddenly terminated, and my earned balance of $700 was blocked permanently. This was not just my income; it was our family's lifeline. 

Overnight, we were plunged into a severe financial crisis. This loss is catastrophic for us because our family is facing profound medical challenges:

1. My beloved wife is battling a prolonged illness and requires consistent care and medication.
2. Most urgently, my young son has been diagnosed with glaucoma in both eyes. This condition threatens his eyesight and requires immediate, specialized treatment and potentially surgery to prevent permanent blindness.

As a father and a husband, my primary duty is to protect and provide for my family. The injustice from Preply has made it impossible for me to do that. I have three children who look up to me, and the fear of not being able to secure my son's vision or put food on the table is overwhelming.

I am not just asking for charity; I am asking for a chance to rebuild.

My goal is not only to cover our immediate medical and living expenses but also to start a small, sustainable business. I dream of establishing a good small business or a small online educational service to continue teaching and never be at the mercy of a single platform again. I want to stand on my own feet, contribute to my community, and be the provider and good citizen I strive to be.

But I cannot do it alone. I need your support to get through this devastating period.

Your generous donation will be used for:

1. Critical Medical Care: Urgent treatment, medication, and consultations for my son's glaucoma.
2. Essential Living Costs: Food, utilities, and rent to keep my family safe and secure.
3. A New Beginning: Seed funding to start a small, reliable business and ensure long-term stability.

Every single rupee brings hope. It brings my son one step closer to saving his sight. It brings my family one day closer to safety. It gives me the strength to stand up again and work towards a self-reliant future.

Please, open your hearts and help us in this time of immense need. Remember us in your prayers and if you can, contribute to our campaign. Please also share this page with your friends, family, and networks.

JazakAllah Khair / Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Muhammad Zahid Iqbal
