• This past year has been a weird and challenging one. For many, the worst they have ever had. Losing loved ones, not being able to see family or friends, people suffering from mental health and feeling suicidal due to the restrictions and the list goes on...

It has been a test and yet we are still going through it but In-shaa’Allah it will pass as nothing happens without the permission of Allah.

I have made the intension of raising funds for HHUGS for their winter campaign by walking 5miles everyday until the 25th February 2021 which totals to 210 miles!

This is sadaqah for those that have passed away, those that are ill whether its from covid or any other illness and most importantly to raise funds to help our brothers, sisters and children who are suffering in the current situation due to not having enough means to provide for themselves.

I ask you to please donate as little as £3 to help the deceased, the sick and those in need.

May Allah Swt accept this as a sadaqah jariyah from me and you and may it grant shifah to those who are ill & purify them Ameen!!

Why? 👇🏻

Every 7 minutes one person will die this Winter. Many HHUGS families affected by detention and counter-terror measures 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, with their husbands behind bars, 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.
