The Tamby Tasneem Dowling Fund
WHO WAS TAMBY TASNEEM DOWLING?
She could walk into a room and lift the mood before she even spoke.*
Tamby Tasneem Dowling was a dedicated mother of six, a caring daughter, sister and family member, and the most loyal friend to many. A fierce defender of the vulnerable and oppressed, she would always help anyone who came to her in need of support.
Her door was always open, her home was filled with visitors, and her kettle was always just boiled.*
Unknown by many, she was an invaluable UKeff supporter and volunteer, helping to deliver food parcels to those in need from the very early days of the charity.
She fell victim to domestic abuse in the most severe manner and was murdered in front of her children in November 2021.
Why this Fund?
The intention of this fund is to increase awareness of this life-destroying issue, to deliver much needed funding to support women and children and to provide an ongoing charity ~ sadaqah jaariyah ~ for our deceased sister.
Where will the money be spent?
The beneficiaries of the fund will be victims and survivors of domestic abuse, including their children, in the UK. The fund will be allocated to any expenses deemed necessary for the beneficiary. Including, but not limited to food, travel costs, financial support, clothing, toiletries, toys, nappies, furniture, white goods, carpets, household decorating, rental deposits.
…(she was a) lovely, kind and caring person (who had a) heart of gold.*
Will all my donation go to the beneficiary?
Yes, UKeff has a 100% donation policy.
Can I donate my Zakat to this fund?
Yes, this is Zakat eligible.
She leaves behind six devastated children who she adored. She leaves behind her devastated brothers, sisters, mother, father, stepdad, and stepmum. She had a large family, who are all heartbroken…
Tamby will leave a huge hole and massive impact on all the family. She touched the lives of countless people — the hole she has left will never be filled and our hearts are broken. *
