Sponsor me as I take part in the Race to Jannah for HHUGS this Ramadhan!
I'm one of a blessed group of competitors striving to raise £250 for HHUGS families, right here in the UK, who face poverty, ongoing trauma, and isolation.
For most of us, Ramadan is a time of family, gathering, and the joy of community. In the homes of HHUGS families, however, Ramadan is tinged with sadness and loss. When a father has been imprisoned, and life has turned upside down, Ramadan brings with it a sharp reminder of all that has been lost.
The peace of the month carries a sadness and emptiness as iftar meals, tarawih prayers and Eid preparations all take place without the heart of the home: the father, husband and beloved son.
The financial burden makes preparing iftar that much harder. The social isolation hurts more in a month of togetherness. The stigma faced by having a family member imprisoned stings more sharply in a time meant for mercy.
This Ramadan, you can be their relief and hope
