“Shukran Shukran” is what she expressed with a tear running down from her face. That’s all Umm Ibrahim in her late 50s could say along with lots of Dua’s for those who donated generously and made it possible for her and her grandchildren to have enough food for the month of Ramadan. “Last Ramadan, back home in Homs, Syria, I was helping the families in crises with food but now in Lebanon, I am getting help from Muslims in the UK “Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us).”
Waffa Khawald is in her late 40s, widowed with 4 daughters and 2 sons. They live in Deir Balah, South Gaza and rely on assistance from charities. Humble and welcoming of the food, she boasts of her three children who receive orphan sponsorships from Muslim Charity and can attend school in spite of their impoverished living conditions.
The recipients were thankful to Allah (most high), the joy, and feeling of belonging to the Ummah by the widows, old aged, children and physically challenged people in the field. “One could feel that the Dua’s are from their heart and tears are out of happiness and feelings of blessings of the month of Ramadan” (as explained by our team member in Gaza).
We would like to thank all of you who have generously supported our pre-Ramadan food distribution project but that is the beginning, please help us to make the final push to reach our goal of providing food for a million so we can continue to bring hope and nourishment to families in Palestine, Pakistan, Burma, Bangladesh, Somalia, Mali and Syria. Allah-willing.
