Mental health is a key issue in the troubled modern world we live in.

وأحب الأعمال إلى الله سرور تدخله على مسلم

“and the most beloved of deeds to Allah is happiness which you bring into the heart of a Muslim.”

We want to help people suffering sadness and drag them onto their feet and empower them to become confident and smiling. 

So for this reason, I am asking you to help me raise a significant amount of money, for a HUGELY significant project:

A unique series of projects all helping people escape the depression and sadness that is overwhelming them. 

Once you have read below...don't leave EXCEPT by exit stage right - there are 13 unique donation options - find the one that suits you best!

​

There are three parts to this wonderful project: 

1. The Inked Remedy Episodic Series (11 parts)

You may have already seen the trailer to this series, if not watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJJRB1zhq24

This is a series based on an article I wrote a few years ago entitled the 15 cures to sadness. (See article here). Uniquely presented through a fictional story, of a young man called Adam, suffering from the recent death of his father. 

Adam writes his thoughts in a diary and his emotions fill the pages of his diary, the very act of writing acts as a form of therapy for him and then I respond to his diary posts and provide him valuable advices to help him through his sadness and so with this concept - so was born the title - The Inked Remedy. 

Now we have busily produced 3 episodes already and you will insha'Allah see them this Ramadan. But we need your help to complete the remaining 8 episodes insha'Allah, which we hope to complete within a couple of months of Ramadan.

Our full team is dedicated to this endeavour, from our artists, cameramen, motion graphics designers, sound engineers, colour grading, scripting and not to forget our beloved central actor, Adam Khaliq - may Allah reward him. So help us complete this series by helping this full team complete this work in 2 months!

I would like to take this moment to introduce you to our lead actor. Who is Adam? - Adam you may have seen before as a motivational speaker who more than conveniently (definitely in Allah's plan) focusses on making people smile. Check out his TED talk called - "How to thrive through the face of adversity?" A wonderful piece by the way and so poignantly connected! Allah definitely brought us altogether for a reason!

So join us too and support the completion of this series!

2. The Inked Remedy Book

As we were recording the series, e-mails flooded in “Where’s the inked remedy book? We want to buy it” We said, “there isn’t an inked remedy book”. So the team said, “we will create one!”

So we need your help to complete the design, artwork, scripting, revisions with counsellors, psychiatrists and printing of enough copies that we can place in the bookstores with the hope that those who need that help can pick up a copy and benefit themselves or others they know. 

The book will be beautifully bound and not just be filled with reams of texts but will be presented in the form of a diary, sketches, doodles and so forth - a truly unique one of a kind presentation.

Don't you think this will be a great gift to give to someone in grief, who may have lost someone recently, or is suffering a grave illness, or is going through some relationship breakdowns? 

Help us print 1000 books for distribution around the country insha'Allah. We have already had interest from those helping in funeral services. Help us alleviate the grief these families are facing.

3. The Inked Remedy Short Film:  

Lastly, we have decided to do something that we personally haven’t done before; a short film production inspired by the inked remedy. Yes, unchartered territories for us, but the cause is worthy and the team have the skillsets to carry out a bigger production insha'Allah!

We are tired of sharing statistics about mental health. We want to do something about it. 

With a team of filmmakers - we have a really amazing story to tell already (but we can’t tell you what it is, as we want it to be a surprise). But we want to make this a beautiful and impactful production and so we need your help to fund us to hire the right equipment from cameras, lighting, sound, actors, props, venue hires and everything that goes into a decent sized production. 

Hey perhaps you want to join us on set as an extra?

Or be at the advanced screening?

Or meet and greet us to look at the storyboards?

Or even be on the credits as an executive producer!?

BUT I have a deadline - I need to raise this money by the end of Ramadan! 

Please donate and share to this cause - help bring happiness into lives blighted with grief and trials.
