A Father’s Honest Plea: Help Me Rebuild My Small Business and Support My Three Children
My name is Rokib Ahmed. With a heavy heart, I am sharing my story and asking for a little help. It is not easy for me to talk about my personal struggles or ask strangers for support, but my family has reached a point where I can no longer manage everything alone.
A few months ago, my mother suffered a brain stroke. I did everything I could to save her. I borrowed money and spent whatever I could on her treatment. Sadly, despite all our efforts, I could not save my mother.
Before I could recover from that loss, my father also suffered a brain stroke. Once again, I borrowed money and did everything possible to pay for his treatment. Sadly, I could not save my father either.
I have now lost both of my parents, but the debts I took on for their medical treatment are still with me. Our family has very limited assets. Apart from our small homestead, we do not have significant property or savings.
I have a small medicine shop, which is my main source of income. The shop has some medicines, but I currently do not have enough working capital to purchase sufficient stock and keep the business running properly. Customers sometimes come looking for medicines that I cannot provide because I do not have enough stock.
This is the biggest reason I am struggling financially. If I can raise enough money to properly restock my shop, I can continue working, earn an income through my own business, support my family, and gradually repay the debts that have become a heavy burden on me.
I have three sons, aged 4, 11, and 13. They depend on me for food, education, clothing, tuition fees, and other basic needs. Every day, I worry about how I will provide these necessities for them.
I also have health problems of my own, including diabetes, eye problems, lower-back problems, and heart problems. I need medical care and medicine, but I often put my own needs aside because my children depend on me.
I have tried asking relatives and people I know for help, but unfortunately, I have not been able to receive enough support to overcome this situation. That is why I am reaching out to kind-hearted people through this fundraiser.
I am not asking for a luxurious life, and I do not want to depend on donations forever. I simply want a chance to rebuild my small business and become financially independent again.
My main goal is to use the support I receive to purchase essential medicine stock for my shop. Part of the funds will also help my family with food, my children’s education, necessary medical expenses, and the debts that have accumulated because of my parents’ treatment.
Even a small contribution of €5, €10, or €20 can make a meaningful difference. When many people contribute a little, it can become enough to give a struggling family a new opportunity.
If you cannot donate, please consider sharing my fundraiser with your friends, family, and community. A single share may help my story reach someone who is able and willing to help.
I am not asking you to solve all my problems. I am simply asking for a little support so that I can stand on my own feet again, keep my business alive, provide for my three children, and gradually work my way out of debt.
Your kindness could give my family a chance to move forward and give my children hope for a better future.
Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read my story. Whether you donate or simply share my fundraiser, I will be deeply grateful for your kindness and support.
May God bless you and your family with good health, peace, happiness, and prosperity.
With sincere gratitude and respect,
Rokib Ahmed
