Latest Assessed Case

"What is meant for you, will reach you even if it is beneath two mountains. What isn't meant for you, won't reach you even if it is between your two lips."

Subhan’Allah, I constantly think of this quote when I have certain cases like the one we had this week. And how beautiful it is to know that our Qadr is all by the will of Allah swt and what happens never happens without his permission.
 
CCK have employed many local businesses to carry out services for our cases. I recieved a message from a single mum “M” asking if it was possible for us to help her with an exterminator as she couldnt afford one, she told me she was scared to sleep because she could hear noises in the roof and cockroaches crawling around her room. We have a beautiful brother that helps us out with pest control, we called him to go out to sister M, a few days passed and we realised the brother had not sent us the invoice like he usually does. I called him to check what happened. He answered and sounded embaressed, “No, sister please I’m not taking money for this house” – Confused I asked him why? He told me for starters, when I got there I thought I was at the wrong address because I looked through the window and it was empty….no furniture, no curtains, no sign of anyone living there. After a few minutes someone opened the door and the sister escorted me in. There were holes in the walls and ceiling and kids on the floor infront of a single fan. No TV, no couches, no nothing. The baby looked hot and sweaty and the older children were crowded around the fan”. Knowing this, I called the sister and asked her if she needed assistance with anything else, she burst into tears and said it was the first time someone had asked her if she needed any help since she got to this country. The following day a cck admin visited her residence.
 
Its true what they say about our Qadr. If she didnt have a cockroach problem, the pest control brother would have never gone to her house, if he had sent the invoice, we would have never called her again. Subhan’Allah.
 
We need absolutely everything for this case members. The kids are in desperate need of so many things including clothes and a TV. We will also be filling the house up with furniture. For anyone wanting to help lift this family out of poverty. Please contribute below or inbox me. JzkAllah khair
