How Your Zakat Helped Nazanin Overcome Financial Hardship and Support Her Daughter
Nazanin, a mother of three, never imagined she would face the overwhelming challenges that came her way. Her eldest daughter, a bright university student, began experiencing severe mental health struggles. The emotional and mental toll on the family was immense, and Nazanin made the difficult decision to leave her job as a trainee counsellor in order to care for her daughter full-time.
The financial pressure quickly mounted, and with no income, she struggled to keep up with essential household expenses, leaving her scared and overwhelmed. Nazanin could also no longer afford to pay for her counsellor training, leaving her uncertain about her future work prospects.
Nazanin didn’t know where to turn for help, but eventually discovered NZF through her local mosque. It was the lifeline she needed in the darkest of times.
When Nazanin reached out to NZF, she found the support she desperately needed. Your Zakat helped her cover her expenses so that she could focus on her daughter’s recovery.
Today, Nazanin is back at work, thriving in her counselling career, and helping others the way she always dreamed of. Her daughter is also on the path to recovery, and the family is slowly regaining their stability.
“I’ve grown so much through this experience. I’m now sitting in front of clients, doing the work I love. I can’t express how grateful I am for the support I’ve received. I make constant duas for everyone involved in collecting and distributing Zakat. I’ve been lifted by Zakat, and I’m deeply grateful.”
For Nazanin, the help from NZF wasn’t just a temporary solution; it gave her hope, restored her confidence, and strengthened her faith in the power of community.
