In Memory of Faizan Sheikh
Faizan was born with Mosaic Edwards Syndrome, this is a rare genetic condition that has a very poor prognosis. Alhumdullilah Faizan defied all odds and we were blessed to have 20 years with him. He was witty and loved life. He became his own advocate and raised awareness for the rights of less abled people and people who stammered. He was active on Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok.
Faizan and his family have been supported by Francis House since he was 9 months old. Faizan called it his 'Happy place' and loved being invited to enjoy time with staff and other disabled people. Faizan was always loved and well looked after by everyone there. Before Faizan passed away he briefly stayed in Francis house's supported living accommodation. He was able to fulfil his dream of living independently and that made him so happy.
We would like you to join us in making a difference for Francis House. We are raising money in aid of Francis House Family Trust and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

UPDATE:
Alhumdulilah we have gone above the target. Thank you to all the donors for their generosity.
UPDATE
As we are approaching one year since Faizan passed away, we are hoping to keep raising funds for Francis house. This year we are hoping to do another walk on Faizan’s birthday in November. Please dig deep and let’s raise as much as we can as I know Faizan would have wanted this so much. He loved everyone at Francis House and loved going there too. Francis house always brought a smile to his face - let’s help put a smile on other children’s faces when they go there now.
all our love
