Laurel, ML -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/16/2014 -- For families living paycheck to paycheck, one serious illness can put them on the street, homeless and wondering from where their next meal will come after facing insurmountable expenses for hospitalizations, tests, and treatment. Facts indicate that homeless children miss more school than those who have homes. And psychological barriers are known to factor in to whether families get the help they need when they are in crises when they suffer from embarrassment, nervousness about filling out the forms or answering questions properly, and if they have further self-consciousness regarding their appearance and hygiene when living on the streets. Children raised under the stress of these conditions often grow into adults who suffer from Childhood Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. When one of the breadwinners then succumbs to death, life for the family in crises can be compounded exponentially for years.

Nishat Nazeefa had the perfect family. Had being the operative word as once her mother was diagnosed with cancer, her young life changed forever. Her family used up their entire savings to get her mother treatments and medicine. They eventually took out extensive bank loans to pay the cost. And while Naaz's mother was able to survive, the toll on the family's finances was fatal.

While Naaz's mother is now a cancer survivor, the family has lost their breadwinner. The work of trying to nurse his wife while working two jobs to help pay for his families care soon caught up with Mr. Nazeefa, taking his life and leaving the family with only Naaz's mother and Naaz, who left school early, to work to pay off the loans and leaving Naaz to worry about her younger sister's welfare.

Using Gofundme.com, Naaz hopes to get the word out about her family's critical plight. The money raised in this campaign will be used to bury their father and pay off loans so her mother, who is a cancer survivor and in recuperation can rest and grow strong enough to be around for her daughters, and so Naaz can finish high school.

The Nazeefa's understand not everyone may be able to give money to help them, so they ask that those who cannot give monetarily help by spreading the word about their crises online through social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.
