Omar Faruk - Victim of Christchurch Mosque attack
We want to support his family in Bangladesh so that they can have ongoing income for many years. Faruk was the sole income earner.
Canterbury
Faruk is a highly skilled welder who came to Christchurch for the rebuild in 2015. He worked at E4 Engineering and later Bromley Steel. He came to New Zealand for a better life and to support his family in Bangladesh. He wanted to get Residency in New Zealand.
He has supported his mother and 1 sister as well as his wife, Neha. His father died a couple of years ago after sickness so he has been the sole income earner for many years. His wife is 4 months pregnant. The family now , has no financial support. There is no social welfare in Bangladesh and families rely on their sons working overseas. Faruk has no brothers, he is the eldest with 3 sisters.
2 sisters are married.
Faruk has been loved by many people in Christchurch and New Zealand. He was very skilled and a very hard worker. He spent little money on himself - his family in Bangladesh relied on him.
He should have been safe in New Zealand.
