Latest Assessed Case

"...I had no symptoms and suddenly the Dr told me I had 4th stage liver cancer"

Salams members,
 
This week, I had the pleasure of meeting Ruqaya, a young wife and mother of a 1 year old. Ruqaya and Mohammed arrived in Australia for the chance of a better life, they escaped severe poverty in their home country, but work long hours, 7 days a week, doing odd cleaning jobs.
 
After rent, Roqaya and Mohammed are left with $23. Thats $23 they need to save for nappies, milk, bread, bills, petrol. Mohammed says they are “happy to live on 2 minute noodles, as long as the rent is paid”.
 
Mohammed and Roqaya struck me as very humble people, happy to live on scraps aslong as they were together. But five weeks ago Roqaya was given tragic news, during a routine check up and blood works, it was discovered Roqaya was in 4th stage cancer, which has already started to spread rapidly and aggressively to other parts of her body. Both were shocked as there were no symptoms what so ever. As Roqaya goes through chemo, she has stopped working and the bills have piled up. Mohammed has had to cut back work, too, in order to look after her and their only child. None are eligible for centrelink. The little family are already 4 weeks in rental Areas.
 
Please help us help this little family breathe a little better, Roqaya needs all the rest she can get at the moment and Mohammed would love the chance to spend these last months with his wife, as a family.
 
To help Roqaya and Mohammed, inbox me or find details below.
