Issued Faced: With their sole earning member behind the bars, the family lived in impoverishment and misery. They had barely enough food to survive. They had no access to legal aid and had absolutely no way to furnish Hussain shaikh bail amount.

How GCF helped: We studied his case and realized that it was extreme destitution that lead Hussain Shaikh to commit the crime. We paid for his bail amount and had him released. We counseled him & made sure he was repentant of what he had done. We also worked on his complete rehabilitation. He was unable to find a decent job because of his handicap, hence we set up a Sandwich & Tea Stall for him so that he can sustain himself & his family.
