In memory of Julie Ann Arif (01/03/1967-23/10/2020).

Those that had the honour of spending time with our mother throughout her life, will know of her warm smile, humour and love of a cup of tea. It is over a cup of tea that so many of her stories were shared. She truly was the embodiment of kindness and compassion, welcoming friends and their families into our home and always ensuring they left with full stomachs and even fuller hearts. 

Our mum dedicated her life to our success, her children. She spoke about her dream of adopting, frequently looking into fostering, in hope that one more child could have the joy of a mother figure and somewhere to call home. Even with five of her own children, her compassion had no boundary... it truly was overflowing. 

Our hope is that this compassion will remain overflowing by supporting Orphans in Need in her memory. May this be a means of the mercy of Allah finding her, encompassing her, embracing her and elevating her status in Jannah. We would like to sponsor an orphan for a year, providing them with education, clothing and care. This is a goal of £360. 

Orphans in Need also support other schemes, such as:

Global Orphan Care programme - £500 

Widow and Orphan Food Parcel - £30

Please donate generously in memory of our beautiful mum and spend a few moments making heartfelt dua that she rests in eternal peace and we are all reunited in bliss together in the akhirah.
