What is Inspirational Charity?
The biggest blessing given by God to its mankind is life. The ability to breath, use your senses, feel the warmness of love, taste the poison of enmity, all these sensations, movements, are a fundamental part of life, of being alive. This whole in one journey of life is not only a walk in the fairy land but also a roller coaster ride in which people face all the challenges and difficulties not only physically but emotionally as well. The biggest help that God provides to his man in these times is the help he sends through the other man which indeed is also his creation. “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”- Charles Dickens. This help is not only through financial means or helping physically but a huge part of it is to help emotionally, to change one’s thoughts, perceptions, mentality and with these terms comes the term inspiration or inspiring.
Inspiration is a process of being mentally focused and targeted on accomplishing or feeling to accomplish something, especially something creative and worthy. It involves a sudden smart or brilliant idea. To get inspired from any person is easy but to be able to get to a position from where you are inspiring people or even a single person, here comes the difficult part. A person who inspires others not only has gained tremendous amount of success but he is serving the mankind on a daily basis and without taking any wages. Every person in this world is an actor of his or her own melodrama. A world where 49.6% population constitutes of women and yet this share is still not considered as an equal part. Women keeping their mouths shut, facing domestic violence, being gang rapped in public, deprived from the basic facilities, fighting with physical, mental health but still representing as an icon of inspiration to their daughters, sons, fellows, to their state, country and most important to themselves.

After being bed ridden for 2 years as a consequence of her surgery, she started physiotherapy which helped her recover enough to use a wheelchair. While painting and working as a facebook page handler to earn monthly wages, she then worked in her son’s school for a startup project which was named as Dheeray Bolo (Speak Slowly). Mohammad Malick who was the managing director at PTV at that time approached her because of her TED talk and asked her to work at PTV. A person like her suffering from paraplegic, moving around on a wheelchair, listening and enduring the barb of the society could have faced mental health issues or would have been surrounded by a dark cloud of lower self-esteem but the answer is No!, she continue to inspire hundreds, thousands or maybe even millions today with the power of her words.
