# 25 A Father died of COvid-19

This is a story of a family, whose father, Shafiq Ahmad, died due to Covid-19, leaving behind a widow, four daughters, and a son.  The family was desperate, as their dreams came to a full stop. The daughters are 25, 19, twins of 13, and the son is 20.

They were all out of school.  

​

The son began to work as a cashier and barely made the rent of Rs. 15,000.  After the demise of their father, their mother also began to work to support the family.  Their struggle was too much, so Uproot stepped in to support the family.
