It's thrilling to have you here.
Hello, I’m Neman Ashraf, a police constable from Pakistan, and a father blessed with two wonderful children. Some of you may know me from my writing on Quora, where I’ve shared pieces of my life and the lessons I’ve learned. Today, though, I’m coming to you not with answers but with a request for help—a heartfelt plea, because I am in a difficult place with nowhere else to turn.
A few years ago, after decades of saving on my limited salary, I managed to buy an old house—a dream I never thought possible. My family finally had a home we could call our own, a place for my children to grow up in. But the house has serious issues. The walls are made of clay, the roof leaks with every rain, and the floors crack and release dust that no amount of cleaning can keep away. With my work keeping me away from home for long hours, I often worry for my family’s safety and security.
The home needs a complete rebuild, and the estimated cost is around $19,000—a sum I simply can’t manage on my own. On my monthly salary of $250, after covering the basics like food, utilities, and school fees, there’s little left over. I’ve done everything I can to patch it up, but with no access to loans, and no way to save that much, it feels impossible.
This is my humble plea for help. If you’re able to contribute anything—no matter the amount—it would mean the world to my family and me. Your support could be the difference that allows us to rebuild our home, giving my children a safe place to grow and freeing us from the constant worry of collapse.
Thank you for listening to my story and for any kindness you can offer. We will be forever grateful.
