Hello and AssalamuAlaykuuuuum

We, Amara & Safa, will be taking on a challenge to try and do as much steps as our little legs can. We are too little to do a 5 mile walk but still wanted to take part with our friends who will be doing the challenge.

We are so chuffed with how much everyone has been supporting us and aunty Cho keeps pushing us to increase it and we want to do it because it will mean more children are being supported - so we don't want to stop! Thank you so much for your genorsity, please keep sharing and supporting us ❤️👭🏼

We will be raising £1,020 now to sponsor 17 children this winter with good coats, hats and gloves!

Please sponsor us to walk so that we can warm hearts and homes this Winter!

We will embrace the cold this Winter so HHUGS families won’t have to.

As we wrap up warm, defy the wintry chills and don our best walking shoes, help us to raise £120 to clothe two children, InnShaaAllah 🥰

Why we're walking in their shoes?

Every 7 minutes one person will die this Winter. Many HHUGS families are amongst the 2.4 million in the UK experiencing ‘fuel poverty’.

With living costs and unemployment rising, families face the hard choice to make the decision whether to ‘heat or eat’. Burdened by debts and threatened with eviction, single mothers, struggle to provide adequate clothing and blankets for their children to protect them from its chill.

Winter hits the most vulnerable hardest. The UK has the second worst rate of excess winter deaths in Europe, with over 175,000 recorded in the past five years, with many succumbing to preventable illnesses. But Winter doesn’t just impair the mobility of the elderly and exacerbate physical illness. With the looming threat of another lockdown, ‘invisible’ conditions like depression, anxiety and loneliness make the long dark nights and grey freezing days even harder to contend with.

Your support can be that light of mercy, radiating hope for a family to survive a merciless season. Your donations can clothe children growing up without fathers, and warm the hearts and hearths of elderly parents isolated from their communities this winter.
You might have struggled with the lockdown this year but it’s easy to forget that many families in our midst live like this all year round. You can make a difference to families for whom social distancing and isolation is a norm.

Your donations can rewrite their Winter’s tale. By donating:
• £40 you can provide warm bedding to protect them from the night’s chill

• £60 you can clothe children to keep them warm this Winter

• £100 you can provide warm companionship - a listening ear from a HHUGS caseworker and dedicated emotional support from our volunteer keyworkers

• £250 you can feed a family for a month so they aren’t forced to choose between heating and eating.

• £300 you can heat a home this winter

• £500 you can shelter a family by paying their rent and saving them from eviction

Together we can change lives for some of the most ostracised families in our midst.

JazaakumAllahu khayr and thank you

Amara & Safa ❤️
