SAVE HHUGS FROM CLOSURE
The only charity supporting the families of the prisoners for the past 13 years is now at risk of closure.
For the past 13 years, HHUGS has supported over 300 families, equivalent to over 1200 individuals relying solely on the support of the community.
Women, children, the elderly, desperately seeking support but whom are shunned by their friends, their community, even their own family. Where no one else has answered their cries for help, HHUGS has responded.
Year in and year out, with the support of this community, we have continued to grow, experiencing the peak of your generosity every year during Ramadhan.
Last Ramadhan, many valuable causes in the international arena coupled with local tragedies captured the attention of the community, but this unfortunately meant that our unique work with those already neglected and marginalized families on our doorstep, was overlooked. Subsequently, we are left with only 2 months non zakah-funds remaining. Arrests now occur daily, meaning a 70% increase in the number of families affected. Without your assistance, we won't be able to extend our existing services to all who need help. Without your support, we may cease to operate.
We are once again calling on our community, the community that has generously supported us for the past 13 years,to help us get out of our current predicament.
