My sister-in-law lost her husband in January 2016 in a tragic road accident in Karachi, Pakistan. He left behind a wife and 3 young children. Life was difficult while her husband was alive, but they were happy. Her loss was met with further hardship as her sister-in-laws took control of majority of the house she lived in claiming the house is theirs as they were the sisters of the deceased. They took posession of the house by producing fake documents which isn't difficult in a country like Pakistan. But they agreed to give them a room the size of an average bedroom with a kitchen and bathroom included within the room. As you can imagine, 3 kids sleeping, eating and playing in the same room.
As my sister-in-law doesn't have the money to buy another house, she has proposed that we help her in building an extension on top of her existing room. The cost of building the room is approximately 100,000 rupees which is about £650. I have already raised £200, hence the amount required of £450.
This money would change their lives immensely and also give her young children space and independence which they dont have at the moment.
