Assalaamu alaykum wa Rahmatullah,
Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
When winter temperatures drop significantly below normal, staying warm, healthy and safe can become a challenge. Over the last month, we’ve seen temperatures plunge with the ‘cold snap’ and the prospect of snow not expected to lift until March 2014.
The Office for National Statistics reported that due to the bitter cold, there were an estimated 31,000 excessive deaths in the UK last winter. This is an increase by almost a third compared to the previous year. We cannot predict what this winter might bring, but it is likely to significantly impact people's health. Additionally the rise in energy prices this year will mean that many vulnerable families will struggle to pay their bills.
“Taking care of the poor in the winter and protecting them from the cold is a great deed.” [Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali]
HHUGS is launching its Winter Campaign to help families devastated by the arrest of a family member under UK anti-terror legislation stay warm, healthy and safe this winter.
You can make a difference by contributing to the costs of their bills and providing an allowance for winter clothing in this “best season for the believer”.
Give ‘Warm HHUGS’ to the families of the prisoners by supporting our Winter Campaign from as little as £10!
Warm HHUGS Packages:
· £10 will provide winter clothing for a child
· £50 will support families struggling with bills
· £100 will support low income families to make ends meet
May Allah (azza wa jaal) reward you immensely for your generosity by granting you abundant mercy and blessing in both this world and the hereafter (AMEEN)
JazakumAllahu khair
