Gathering with others to share an Iftar meal and feeling that unity is one of the great blessings of Ramadhan. This vision, however, can be a far cry from the distressing reality faced by HHUGS families, where the absence of a family member, lack of support and social isolation is felt this month, more acutely than ever. Things do not have to be this way.
By hosting a HHUGS Iftar, you can extend a hand of compassion to families facing dark times, with minimal effort and expense. Maximise the full reward of Ramadhan by the simple act of inviting your own guests for an Iftar meal and each making a donation towards the only charity of its kind.
If you want to make a difference but can’t donate much yourself, then A Date with HHUGS provides the perfect opportunity, combining the rewards of feeding a fasting person with that of sadaqah for this unique cause, from the comfort of your own home - a small action yet yielding great relief in the month where rewards are multiplied beyond measure.
This Ramadhan, let’s seek reward in doing great actions to strengthen ties between family, friends and the community. It’s a great fundraising opportunity that takes a little effort time and culinary skills but the reward and impact it can have is astronomical!
“Whoever guides someone to virtue will be rewarded equivalent to him who practices that good action.” [Bukhari]
It’s simple - all you have to do is gather your friends and family and invite them over for an iftar to raise money for our HHUGS families. Charge an entry free or leave moneyboxes around for donations, it’s totally up to you!
