Please lend a helping hand to Umm Shee and her son, Abdillah Mbaruk. They are a small family facing tough times.

Umm Shee is a brave single mother who has been raising her son in the U.A.E for the past decade. Unfortunately, Abdillah's father is paralyzed and unable to provide any support for his son.

Due to the devastating impact of Covid-19, Umm Shee lost her job in 2020. Since then, she has been struggling to make ends meet with part-time jobs that pay very little. Despite her best efforts, she remained unemployed for almost a year and accumulated debts, including school fees and rent.

Even though Umm Shee has recently found employment, her income is still insufficient to cover all her debts. As a result, her son has not been able to enroll in Year 12 for the upcoming academic year in September 2024 due to outstanding fees.

The main reason Umm Shee has stayed in the U.A.E is because of her son's education. However, once her son completes his IGCSE exams in June, she plans to permanently leave the country and go back home to Kenya where her son can pursue a higher education.

In order to obtain the necessary clearances and certificates to return to Kenya, Umm Shee must settle all the outstanding tuition fees, which amount to $4,780.
