Connect the isolated with the community.
Allow them to experience the joy of companionship and celebrate after being isolated for so long.
No one deserves to be left alone in times of hardship. Yet this is the reality families of prisoners live with day in and day out. With no Eid face to face celebrations in the past two years, due to government restrictions, families have already struggled being treated as outsiders by their own communities, and often face harassment. This situation is hardest on single mothers, who are helpless as their children witness the joy of their peers during Eid.
Now that we are able to celebrate and gather together, please donate to help us raise £3000 to allow the families in Yorkshire and Lancashire to attend a belated Eid celebration. Your donations will cover the cost of the venue, catering, gifts, activities, AV, waiting staff and transport for families travelling from further afield.
“The Eid parties, the presents - it's made me feel as though 'I'm not alone. You get together with other families and it makes you realise it’s not only you going through that struggle. It’s like they’re family, they are a part of us and we are a part of them. My children were so happy to see me happy and smiling.”
Please dig deep and help unite these families in these gatherings!
