AssalamuAlaykuuuuum, pray you're all well! 🤲🏻❤️

So I will be doing a 25 mile walk, a part of it with my nieces this winter ❄️🥶☃️. I'll be doing it with one of my injured knee 🥺. My target is £600 which will sponsor 10 children with a good coat, hat and gloves 🧥🧢🧤 at £60 each.

***Original target has been met so I'd like to try and sponsor SEVENTY FIVE more children and complete another 13 mile walk InnShaaAllah! Last one was hard and I'm still feeling the ache 🥺 ***

A lot of children in the families don't have the sufficient warm clothes to survive this winter or if they do then it's torn and very old! 😔💔

"If her daughter’s outgrown coat could speak
Perhaps its voice would be muted and meek
Knowing it cannot keep her small body warm
Playground bullies mock her clothing, old and torn"

Sponsor me to save 10 children from sleeping in the cold and warm their hearts and homes this Winter! 🛌🛌🛌

I will embrace the cold this Winter so HHUGS families won’t have to. 🥶🤧

As I wrap up warm, defy the wintry chills and don my best walking shoes, help me to raise £600 🙋‍♀️🥰

Why I’m walking in their shoes?

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. 🤲🏻

JazaakumAllahu khayr for always being supportive. May Allah accept from you abundantly. Ameen 🥰🤲🏻
