Dear Beloved Supporter,

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah,

I’m writing to you not just as Tarik’s aunt, but as someone whose heart overflows with gratitude for your kindness. Your donation has already changed so much for this incredible young man.

Today, I want to share a glimpse of that transformation. Attached is a short video that shows Tarik’s new adaptive equipment—a system that is more than metal and mechanics. It’s dignity. It’s humanity. It’s hope.

Before this, every transfer—from his wheelchair to his bed, to the washroom, to the shower—meant being lifted manually. Imagine the vulnerability. The discomfort. The constant dependence.

Now, thanks to your generosity, Tarik can be moved safely—with care, ease, and dignity. His personal support workers are no longer straining their backs. His mother no longer carries the silent exhaustion of physically maneuvering her grown son.

This isn’t just about mobility.

It’s about restoring Tarik’s humanity.

It’s about letting him feel like a man, not a burden.

And with just $20,000 remaining, we’re so close to completing the final phase: an accessible vehicle that will give him full freedom of movement.

This is the final stretch. And I’m reaching out to you with love in my heart to ask:

Can you help us finish what we started?

Whether it’s a share with your WhatsApp groups, a second small donation, or a heartfelt du’a — you never know which action will be the one Allah accepts most.

You’ve already proven that your heart is big. Now we’re inviting you to make the final climb with us. The mountain is almost conquered.

Imagine:

• Tarik going to appointments without stress.
• Getting fresh air without depending on others.
• Attending masjid, classes, maybe even Umrah… without feeling trapped.

Every moment of mobility you give him will echo in your scales of good deeds long after this Ramadan ends.

And if you’re wondering, “Will my help really make a difference?”

Let me ask you gently…

What if it already has?

What if your share is the one that reaches the final donor?

What if you’re the reason this boy finally tastes freedom after years of limitation?

This is a Zakat-compliant campaign, and every dollar is going toward giving Tarik a life of dignity, comfort, and independence.

May Allah bless you and your family in these final nights.

May He multiply your reward like the rain—unexpected, abundant, and endless.

May your name be written among those who made a difference when it truly counted.

With deepest gratitude,

Salma

Tarik’s Aunt, Advocate, and Prayer Warrior

P.S. If you can, please forward this to 3 people. One message could be the one that completes this fundraiser.

Assalaam u Alaikum,

This is Salma, Fatima’s sister, and I wanted to take a moment to personally update you on Tarik’s progress and extend our deepest gratitude for your incredible support. Your generosity has made a profound difference in our lives, and we are truly thankful for each and every one of you who has helped us along this journey.

Fatima has always been a source of strength for those around her. We know her as a powerful, resilient woman who, after escaping an abusive marriage, rebuilt her life as a single mother of five. She has always stood tall and faced challenges head-on, never giving up, no matter how tough life has gotten. But now, Fatima finds herself struggling under the weight of caring for Tarik—emotionally, physically, and mentally.

As a primary caregiver, the emotional and physical toll has been overwhelming. The demands on her time and energy have left her feeling drained, and balancing Tarik’s needs with her own well-being has become increasingly difficult. However, thanks to your support, Fatima is able to have responsible carers and personal support workers who step in to help regularly. This has allowed her to take much-needed breaks to recharge, ultimately making her a better caregiver for Tarik.

In the attached videos, you’ll see two key moments from Tarik’s daily routine that would not be possible without your support. The first video shows Tarik doing his stretching exercises, which are critical for his mobility and well-being. The second video showcases Tarik using special equipment to take a proper shower. While this may seem like a simple task for most, for Tarik, it’s a significant improvement. Without this equipment, he would only be able to have sponge baths, which leave him feeling unclean and uncomfortable. We often ask ourselves: How would you feel if you could only have a sponge bath and not the refreshing feeling of a proper shower? Having the ability to shower with this equipment has provided Tarik with a sense of dignity and comfort, which means the world to him.

Here are the links to the videos:

Shower Equipment Video

These moments—his exercises and the ability to shower independently—are a direct result of your generosity. We are incredibly grateful for your continued support, which is enabling us to provide Tarik with the tools and resources he needs to live a more comfortable, dignified life.

Thank you again for your kindness and belief in Tarik’s journey. Your contributions have made all the difference, and we are so fortunate to have you by our side.

With sincere gratitude,
Salma

Now Let’s Finish Strong (Zakat-Compliant Fundraiser)

Bismillah.

Dear brothers and sisters,

First—thank you. From the depths of my heart, from Tarik’s heart, from every moment of relief and joy you’ve made possible—you are appreciated more than words can express. You showed up. You gave. You shared. You made a difference. And we’ve felt your support every step of the way.

Now, we’re in the last 10 nights—the holiest, most powerful nights of the year. The nights where the rewards of every good deed are multiplied beyond imagination. The nights where one sincere act could be the one that tips the scales in our favor for Jannah.

This is your moment to amplify what you’ve already done.

You’ve Already Changed Lives—Now Multiply the Reward

Your generosity has already set so much in motion. But here’s the thing: Ramadan isn’t about stopping at the finish line—it’s about finishing strong.

The Prophet ﷺ told us: “The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are consistent, even if small.” (Bukhari & Muslim)

That means tonight, you don’t have to give big to make a huge impact. Even a small additional donation—whatever is easy for you—can compound into eternal blessings.

And because this is a Zakat-compliant fundraiser, your contribution isn’t just charity—it’s a direct investment in your akhirah, a sacred trust fulfilled in a way that brings freedom and dignity to someone who needs it.

What You’re Giving Tarik Isn’t Just Equipment—It’s Freedom

This isn’t just about an accessible vehicle, medical equipment, or respite care. It’s about giving Tarik the ability to live without barriers. To show him that he’s not alone. To remind him that beyond his mother, there is an Ummah standing beside him, lifting him up.

• You are giving him mobility.

• You are giving him independence.

• You are giving him proof that he is seen, loved, and valued.

Tonight, in these final nights of Ramadan, let’s take it one step further.

Can You Share This With 10 People?

Not everyone is in a position to give again—and that’s okay. But everyone can be part of the reward by sharing. Imagine if just one person you send this to donates because of you. That’s another life-changing gift written in your book of deeds.

So here’s the challenge:

1. Give again—even if it’s small. Whatever you can do, it matters.

2. Share this email with 10 friends. Let the reward multiply.

3. Make dua—for Tarik, for yourself, for the entire Ummah.

This could be the last Ramadan one of us sees. Let’s make it count.

Will you be part of this 10 day challenge inshaALLAH?

With gratitude and duas,

Fatima

#Last10Nights #TariksFreedom #MultiplyYourBlessings #Ramadan #Ramadan2025

As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

I wanted to take a moment to update you on something thathappened yesterday—an experience that made me realize, once again, just how urgent the support we need truly is.

As many of you know, I have been struggling with anxiety, concussion, migraines, and caregiver burnout. Yesterday, I went to my doctor for treatment, including an acupuncture session to help manage some of these challenges. While I was on the acupuncture table with 34 needles in my legs, arms, and head, I received an urgent call from Tarik. His personal support worker (PSW) had left early, and he was alone, needing to go to the bathroom. Tarik was frightened and terrified, overwhelmed by the situation.

I was in an incredibly vulnerable state, unable to move because of the acupuncture treatment, and I could hear the panic in his voice. It was unbearable. I immediately asked the doctor to remove the needles so I could rush to Tarik, but the pressure of trying to help him while being physically incapacitated was overwhelming. To hear my son so scared, knowing I couldn’t reach him in time, was truly heart-wrenching.

This is the reality I face every day. Between the anxiety, the lingering effects of my concussion, the constant migraines, and the fatigue from being Tarik's sole caregiver, I am running on empty. It is becoming increasingly difficult to balance my own health with Tarik’s needs, and the burnout is only growing. I am doing my best, but I know that I need more support to be the best mother and caregiver for Tarik.

This is why we need your help, now more than ever. With your continued generosity, I will be able to access the support Tarik needs and get the necessary care that both of us require to move forward. Whether it's the physiotherapy and respite care Tarik needs or additional resources to help me recover from burnout and manage my health, your support will make all the difference.

Here is the link to Tarik’s fundraiser: LaunchGood.com/Tarikpath 

Please, I ask you to share this link with your friends, family, and community—one share could make all the difference. 

Even if they are unable to contribute financially, your efforts in sharing this message are invaluable.

Your kindness and generosity have already made an incredible impact, and I am deeply grateful. I cannot thank you enough for being there for us during this difficult time. May Allah (SWT) reward you abundantly for your support and grant you peace, prosperity, and protection.

May Allah (SWT) ease the burdens of our hearts, grant us strength in times of hardship, and shower His infinite mercy upon us. May He bless you for your kindness, multiply your rewards, and grant you success and peace in this life and the Hereafter. Ameen.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Fatima

Assalaam u alaikum wr wb 

As we complete the first 10 days of Ramadan, we wanted to take a moment to thank you from the depths of our hearts. Your generosity has already made a powerful impact, and we are deeply grateful for your kindness and support.

Tarik recently shared a heartfelt message in Yaqeen’s Ramadan series, asking a question that weighed on his heart: Where do babies go when they die? The response he received—learning that they are cared for by Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his wife Sarah (AS)—brought him immense comfort. This moment was so profound that Sheikh Omar Suleiman himself responded with a beautiful message of encouragement for Tarik.

Watch the video and Sheikh Omar Suleiman’s response here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zpMIKMlRhAk

Tarik’s fundraiser is about more than just mobility—it’s about giving him the independence and dignity he deserves. As we strive to reach our goal before Eid, we ask for one simple favor: Share this campaign with your family, friends, and WhatsApp groups. Your voice could be the reason we cross the finish line.

May Allah multiply your rewards in these sacred nights and grant you and your loved ones endless blessings.

With gratitude,

Tarik's mom (Fatima)

Dear incredible supporters,

Alhamdulillah, I am 80% recovered from the bacterial infection and pneumonia that left me struggling these past weeks. Your prayers, kindness, and generosity have been a source of strength, and I cannot thank you enough.

I also wanted to share some important news: Aaqib Ahmed, the man who stole nearly £20 million ($30 million USD), including my son Tarik’s life savings, has been arrested. Justice is finally being served, and while nothing can undo the harm caused, this is a step toward accountability.

Despite everything, we continue to move forward, and today, I want to share something beautiful with you—one of Tarik’s new pieces of equipment that is making his daily life easier and he is able to have a shower instead of a sponge bath.

Our fundraiser remains Zakaat-compliant for the debt portion, making this an opportunity for Ramadan giving that is both impactful and rewarded abundantly, inshaAllah.

? May Allah bless you, multiply your wealth, protect your family, and grant you ease in all your affairs. Ameen.

This Ramadan, please share this campaign with others so they, too, can take part in this sadaqah jariyah. 

Your share could change everything.

Dear Beloved Donors,

I want to start by thanking you from the bottom of my heart for your incredibly generous support. Your kindness has touched me deeply, and I am filled with gratitude for each of you. Your donations have made it possible for me to navigate through this challenging time, and I will always remember your support as a beautiful act of compassion.

As many of you know, I have been facing a serious illness over the past few weeks. The pneumonia has been difficult to overcome, and I have been struggling with pain, fatigue, and a sense of deep malaise. It’s been hard not being able to function at my usual capacity or support Tarik in the way I always do, but through this, Allah has taught me an invaluable lesson in surrender.

In these moments of struggle, I have learned to reflect deeply and draw closer to Allah. I have felt His presence more than ever before, and through this illness, I have found comfort in trusting His plan for me. This journey has been humbling, reminding me of the beauty of reliance on Allah, and the need to pause, rest, and reconnect with what truly matters.

The doctors have said that it will take about 8 weeks for me to rebuild my lungs, strength, and stamina. It will be a slow journey, but I am hopeful, grateful, and at peace with the process, knowing that every trial comes with an opportunity for growth and spiritual closeness.

But even in this time of illness, I want you to know that I have continued to pray for you, my beloved donors. I have prayed for you and your families—for your health, happiness, and success. I have prayed that Allah fills your life with joy, peace, and abundance. And in my moments of reflection, I have raised my hands in supplication for your strength and well-being.

My dear friends, I make this special dua for you:

"O Allah, make their lives filled with peace and blessings. O Allah, expand their provision, improve their health, and bless their families and their work. Grant them all that they wish for in this life and the Hereafter. Ameen."

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Your generosity and support continue to lift my spirit, and I pray that Allah rewards you abundantly for your kindness and compassion. 

Please know that I am deeply appreciative of each of you, and I look forward to the day when I am back on my feet, with renewed energy, to continue supporting Tarik and serving our community.

With love and gratitude,
Fatima

Salaam, it’s Tarik.

One of my helpers, Maryam, is helping me write this today because I have something really important to tell you.

My mom is really sick. She got this really bad kind of COVID, and now she can’t get up or help me like she always does. She’s really tired and has to take a lot of medicine. It makes me sad because she’s always the one who takes care of me, and now she can’t.

But guess what? Because of you, I’m okay.

The helpers you gave me are making sure I have everything I need. They help me move, take care of me, and make sure I’m safe while my mom gets better. You made that happen.

I just want to say THANK YOU.

You are like superheroes to me. I don’t even know how to say how grateful I am. My mom always tells me that when you help someone, Allah helps you even more. So I pray that Allah gives you the best gifts ever.

Please make dua for my mom. I really, really want her to get better soon.

Love,

Tarik

P.S. If you can, please share my story with others. My mom always says kindness spreads like sunshine, and you’ve already made my world brighter.

Assalaam u alaikum 

It's been less than 48 hours and we are almost at $2000. 

You didn’t just donate—you answered a dua, became a lifeline, and gave us hope when we needed it most.

Because of you, Tarik and I no longer feel alone in this journey. Your generosity is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, Allah sends people like you to shine His light.

We prayed for you. The moment your support came through, we raised our hands and asked Allah (SWT) to bless you with barakah in your life, health, and wealth. You are being remembered—not just in our duas but in the legacy you are helping us create for Tarik.

Here is a special video Tarik made for you 

But this is just the beginning. To bring Tarik the care and dignity he deserves, we need to keep the momentum going. Would it be too much trouble to ask you to share our campaign with your family, friends, and community. The power of your voice could be the key to reaching others who want to help.

Here is the LINK to share

You are part of this story now, and because of you, Tarik’s future looks a little brighter. Thank you from the depths of our hearts.

May Allah reward you beyond measure for your kindness and compassion.

With duas and gratitude,

Fatima
