السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته اخواني واخواتي / As salam Aleykoum wa rahmatullah wa baarakatuh ikhwani wa akhawati

I don't know where to start... I'm used to creating fundraisers for others, but I'm so ashamed today to ask you for help for myself...

I've reached a point of no return, overwhelmed by debts and events; I no longer know what to do to travel to France to see my children whom I haven't seen since May 20... They are 4, 3 and 1½ years old...

Indeed, we are muhajiroun, my husband and I, in Egypt. My children were left stuck in France because their father requested a prohibition on leaving the country for the children. I therefore couldn't take them with me and they remained stuck in France. Their father has recently cut all contact; I can't even see them by video... الله المستعان — it breaks my heart every day... I was supposed to see them in August but because of administrative papers and lack of financial means we could not obtain a visa for my husband who does not have French nationality... We tried several visa applications but nothing worked; now all our requests for France are blocked, the remaining options are nearby countries such as Italy, Spain or Belgium. We also tried to get a visa for Italy but we were scammed out of more than 2000€ by a fake travel agent. We are science students and have little means... We have therefore gone deeply into debt, over 1000€... In short, the situation is catastrophic for me today! I just wanted to travel with my husband to see my children and complete the civil registration at the town hall in France (to make our future comings and goings easier) and in the end I find myself not seeing them at all! Even deprived of video calls! I'm at my wits' end, which is why I'm asking for your help... Please (Min fadlik) to pay debts, visa procedures, visa fees, plane, train or bus tickets, etc...

According to Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) said: “Whoever relieves a believer of a hardship among the hardships of this life, Allah will relieve him of a hardship among the hardships of the Hereafter.”
(Reported by Muslim in his Sahih no.2699)

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم : من نفَّسَ عن مؤمنٍ كُربةً من كُرَبِ الدنيا نفَّسَ اللهُ عنه كُربةً من كُرَبِ يومِ القيامةِ
(رواه مسلم في صحيحه رقم ٢٦٩٩)

📢 Good news

الله اكبر الله اكبر

At the same time that the fundraiser was growing, we asked a scholar here in Egypt if under these circumstances I could travel alone without my husband. The answer is yes under certain conditions (those who want the details can message me privately, but know this is a specific case and cannot apply to all situations, be careful! بارك الله فيك)

سبحان الله — this will therefore be much simpler because there's no need to wait for an almost impossible visa!! And on top of that the travel cost is almost halved! الله اكبر الله اكبر

📢📢 New information:
I was able to book my plane tickets for October (the upcoming holidays of my little ones) and the rental car (mandatory because with 3 little ones I couldn't imagine taking a train, bus or Uber). Only the payment for the rbnb remains, which amounts to 790€ for two weeks.

الحمد لله الحمد لله — I will see my children again, Insha'Allah!!!

Truly... I thank you greatly!

Jazzakum Allahou kheiran / جزاكم الله خيرا

However, we are keeping the fundraiser open to allow my husband to pay for his visa and the related procedures so he can accompany me next time, Insha'Allah, and above all to repay all our debts... and to cover what is still needed to travel.

Once again, thank you for the fundraiser that has grown; wallahi I am very moved by your donations, your shares, your duas ❤️ thank you from the bottom of my heart!
