    Weʼve raised £550 to provide sanitary towels for homeless women.

    Leeds, United Kingdom
    Funded on Wednesday, 25th January 2017

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    Recently I scrolled through my Facebook wall and found there was a video that detailed homeless women who had to use cloths or old newspapers as sanitary towels.

    We all know condoms and razors are available for free from many establishments, however it is beyond me, why homeless women are not afforded the facility of sanitary towels.

    It has played on my mind all day and I want to do something to help.

    This is where I need your help. If you can donate as little as a pound, I will purchase the necessary products with the help of my wife and we will distribute these to homeless shelters and provide what we consider a basic necessity for women.

    Whilst there are already campaigns and petitions at various stages to have the issue brought forward to the government, I feel we can all do something to help now.

    We all have wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, girlfriends. Imagine they had to struggle without a basic necessity such as a sanitary towel, it doesn't bear thinking about, but this is the sad reality for homeless women across the country.

    75% of the money will be used to purchase the products and provided to an array of shelters across the West Yorkshire region to start with. The other 25% will be used to raise awareness across social media.

    Thank you for taking the time to read, we hope you are able to donate as much as you possibly can.

      Update from the Page owner

      Thank you to everybody that has donated and helped Amreen & I in being able to make a difference to the lives of homeless women. As well as the money raised, we have a box of toiletries that is being prepared by a group of ladies from my work. We will be bundling those items too and sharing them out. Just-giving take a 5% fee of the money raised, the rest will towards other toiletries such as sanitary towels with a small portion going towards social media advertising to help raise more awareness. God bless you all! Jamil & Amreen

      I wanted to share another update. Amreen and I have been looking into how we will distribute the towels. We have been made aware of a homeless charity that gathers once a month in Leeds. When I have more detailed information I will provide it. Our goal is to distribute the sanitary towels at these gathering. If you're reading this and know of any other homeless organisations or get togethers then please do let us know.

      So we're 20% of the way to hitting our goal and I wanted to share an update. There have been many questions regarding the 25%. I've set this amount aside to run paid ads. I will categorically not be using any of the funds raised to line mine or my wife's pocket. The 25% of total funds raised will be going towards Facebook Ads and Twitter ads in a bid to gain more momentum with this campaign. I don't want this to be a one time campaign and be done with once its over. This is an on going campaign. Thank you for your support
