What this Cause is About?
I, Jasmyn Wilson, am writing on behalf of myself and my family. During September of 2010 my eldest brother Jason was diagnosed with ALL leukemia at the age of 13. The following year he had an allergic reaction to his chemotherapy causing him to have a stroke. The stroke left him brain injured. He stayed inpatient at the Children’s Hospital ofUniversity Philadelphia for 2 months recovering. In that time it was apparent Jason would not be fully functioning again, and was given the diagnosis of mental retardation. Since then, he has had A.V.N (Avascular Necrosis) causing chronic pain in all of the joints in his body. In the year 2015 my fatherJibril suffered 3 strokes in the span of 2 weeks. He was left also brain injured. Now, we are currently fighting with SSD (Social Security Disability)for benefits and support for his care. Lastly, my mother, Shalonda, is currently in the hospital trying to regain strength in her legs. In July 2016,my mother fell multiple times due to severe pain in her legs caused by nerve pain steaming from her spine. With all of these medical problems in my family,I am left to work and help care for my parents and four siblings. I am a 17year old junior in High school. I have 3 younger siblings all under the age of12.

Why It Matters?
Â
My family comes from Philadelphia and was involved many years in the Muslim communities there. Many of my extended family members, including my grandparents, didn’t support our family because of ourIslamic faith. With both parents ill and siblings to care for, I am left without support and am left to manage alone. Given how young I am and that I am still in school, many government programs will not help me or my family members. The programs that do exist threaten to split my family and put my siblings in foster care. I love my family very much and will do whatever it takes to provide and care for them but I can no longer endure this alone.Inshallah, with the help from any supporters willing, I am hoping to finally have ease from my circumstances.
Â
How the Funds Will be Used?
Â
My family only receives monthly $550 in food stamps and $1260 in cash. With 7 people in my home the food and cash aren’t enough to cover the costs of living. Any donation received would go towards payment of bills accumulated over the last year. In addition to helping with bills, the donations would also help towards the costs of repair in the home and car. We are seeking 12 months of rent (5 months of unpaid) ($12,000),phone bill ($1000), electricity ($2000), car repair ($1000), house repairs($2000), Miscellaneous (OTC medicines, etc) $1000.Â
