New Delhi, Jun 27: Wasim Akhtar, a journalist and founder of an online news portal, is helping the poor and needy people in the ongoing lockdown.
Not only is he helping them financially but also providing emotional support and setting the right example of humanity.
"I was very disturbed during the first 14 days of lockdown especially after seeing such sad videos about needy and poor people. But then I decided to move out of my house and help these poor people despite the fear of COVID-19 coronavirus. We supply ration to around 200 people every day so that their families won't sleep hungry," narrated Wasim Akhtar.
Waseem Akhtar and his team are contacting daily wagers and other needy people who have been locked jobless in their houses for the past 70 days. They are the people who will not beg for food to anybody, rather choose to sleep hungry. They are making sure to help the people in the remotest places by directly transferring the money in the accounts of needy people.
They have been feeding many migrants at Kurla and VT stations. "At VT station, there was a group of Tamilian migrants among which there were six women and two men, who didn't know Hindi or English language, who were helpless and nowhere to go to, we send them back to their natives," said Wasim when asked about it.
The Giving Care Foundation also funded the funeral of a 65-year old man at the Worli crematorium. They took care of the expenses of the delivery of a Kolkata-based woman whose husband was stuck in Mumbai. Along with this, they arranged everything for the funeral of a young girl who died after her prolonged illness amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Being a Muslim myself, I urge all the fellow Muslims that limit your expenses and help the poor and needy in such times," concluded Wasim Akhtar.

Such a noble kind soul, always cheerful and helpful to all. Know him since my school days. He was a close friend of my two elder brothers and treated me as a younger brother. He lived his life fully and in the service of the needy and Deen. May Allah grant him maghfirat and a place in the Jannah Ameen.
Allaah Adaayim .. Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajioon
Allaah Subhanawatala
mere dost ki nek aamaal qabool hojaye
gunahon ki maafi hojaye
uski maghfirat kare
apne Rahmat barsaaye
Arsh ke saye me jaga ataa farmaaye
Jannatul Firdous me dakhil ho jaaye
ameen
