Salams Folks!
This is a plea from me, Sara Malik, for you to help my good friends, Sabin and Saqib. They are a lovely practicing Muslim couple, and they provide a Tiffin Cooking Service for people who work and those who require Pakistani food cooked for parties.
Their 4.5 year old daughter is deaf, guys. She cant hear at all, and was born like that. She needs an implant to give her the MIRACLE AND GIFT OF HEARING which we take for granted.
My dear people, YOU have this opportunity to contribute towards the remaining £4,000 so that this little girl, who lives in Hounslow can have the ability to hear how life sounds..... Doesn't that sound amazing?
(Edited:) There is only £3,000 left to raise and they can go ahead next month inshallah!
Can you help me to help them? I am using the WLSIS/Ha-Meem charity to transfer the money to them.

A plea from Mr & Mrs Saqib and Sabin Sakhie for their 4 year old daughter:
We are parents of 2 special children: a 7 year old boy and a four and half year old girl - both of them have special needs and are studying in special schools.
Our son is suffering from autism and has a significant delay in his development. Our daughter Zainab was born profoundly deaf.
Our daughter was under treatment in Great Ormond Street Hospital London for a Cochlear Implant, an implant which will inshaAllah give her the gift of hearing.
We have gone through all the test and assessment for the surgery (which took almost nine months) and waiting for the date of surgery.
The hospital has told us that primary care trust has refused the funding on the basis of our pending Visa application in the home office. We have been told by the hospital that we have to wait until we get the Visa otherwise my daughter cannot get the treatment.
If our daughter gets implanted before she turns 5 then she will be able to hear and speak like a normal child, but if she doesn't, she will remain deaf for all her life - it means she wont be able to hear and speak a single word, for all of her life.
A cochlear implant is a miracle for deaf children, that helps them to hear and we have lost all of our hopes of getting the implant through the NHS, as the visa application in UK can take very long and there is no guarantee that we will get the visa.
We have contacted few private hospitals for the treatment; the cheapest which we have found is the Manchester Children's Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic.
They offer the Cochlear Implant for around £43,300.
We have arranged £39,000 so far and need the remaining £4,000.
The first surgery date was 26th April 2014 but because lack of sufficient funds, it was pushed forward to 26th May, and now again. The next date available is now 21st June, 2014.
Both of us humbly request you to help us to collect £4,000 pounds, so we can go ahead with the treatment as early as possible.
