**EDIT AGAN!**
Although we have reached the second target, please keep donating as we can give larger gifts to families. We can also buy the residents other things they might need, such as shoes, clothes, books and food. Thank you all for your support x

** EDIT**
Because of the overwhelming genorousity of my family and friends, I have changed the target to £700 in the effort of raising enough for £20 gift per person. Thank you and JazakAllah to everyone who has donated so far!

Fasting is a special time for Muslims. It’s a time for spiritual reflection and growth, connection to god and self-awareness and for empathising with those who have less and a time for charity and service to others.
In the last ten days of Ramadhan we would like to raise enough money to gift 35 refugees at least ten pounds in gift vouchers.
Why vouchers? We want to give the families the respect and dignity of having choices, to make a decision on what they use the money for clothes, food, toys or phone credit. We want this to feel like the gift it is on this joyous occasion and give these families and individuals the chance to experience what most of us take for granted - something new on our special day.
The last ten days of fasting are considered especially significant for Muslims. The fasts are longer, energy and patience is reduced but the rewards are multiplied. All acts of worship charity and kindness are rewarded a 1000 fold.
Please can you help us raise at least £10 per person? That's only £350! If ten kind people give just £3.50 every night we will raise enough! Or 35 people giving just £10. Whether it is £1, £10 or £100, however much you can spare, little or large, it will all help.
