Help Artist Rebuild Burned Home During Pandemic
My house burned down last week (18th June) due to an electrical short circuit. I am a photographer based in Lahore. I wasn’t having such a good year before this latest shock, either: I had not been getting any work due to COVID-19, and then my father passed away on February 3rd after contracting the virus.
We are a working-class family of five, and I have had to pick up the responsibility for our survival following my father’s passing. We lost a lot of the essentials of our living space (furnishings and furniture, wiring etc.) in the fire. I lost most of my essential things: my photobooks, books, and quite a lot of equipment. We need funds to repair the house and make it livable again, as well as meet the shortfall in living expenses; donations would help us keep our family afloat during this period of crisis. The goal of these donations, in addition to rebuilding my home, is to aid in other financial challenges, including my mother's medical treatment.
