Rawalpindi: A 55 year old widow Kaneez Bibi who is passing through tough times of her life along with his mentally retarded and physically handicapped son of 22 years age is seeking financial help from the philanthropists and kind-hearted humans in order to meet the ends.

Narrating her woeful story, Kaneez told that her son is physically handicapped and mentally retarded by birth. After the death of his father who died two months before the birth of his son, she has brought up the child by selling clothes.

Through this way she had been able to meet the expenses of her son for his medical treatment and purchasing medicines. However, as now she has grown old and remains ill Kaneez has completely given up her work.

As a result, financial problems have mounted up and Kaneez has no other options but to seek funds from her locality people in the form of zakat. There is no one in her family who could render her financial assistance.

Kaneez has appealed to the government, financial donors, social organizations and philanthropists and kind-hearted people to
come forward to render her financial help on humanitarian basis enabling her to pass the remaining life peacefully.
