Alhamdulillah, you've all supported me in each and every fundraising challenge I have ever done. A couple of nights ago, I read a heartbreaking account of a MYH worker talking about how they missed 14 calls from those Muslims here in the UK struggling with their mental health. From those getting abused at home, to those who are stuck in the sins of life, to those who think they will never be forgiven.

As such, I've decided that I am going to take the #Help10MYH challenge but believing in the power of my family and friends support, I've decided to make this a personal #Help100MYH challenge!

That's right, I am aiming to help *100 Muslim youths here in the UK* stuck in a battle with their mental health, get their voices heard and their lives transformed. Will you help me in making this goal a reality?

All I need is for you to donate *just £10* to allow ONE Muslim youth get his/her call answered. To you maybe the cost of a meal, to the youth who needs this = the prospect of a transformed happier life.

More details below:

Omar graduated from university and can't find a job.

Sana's uncle sexually assaulted her. She wanted to commit suicide.

Dawood lives under tyranny at home.

Salma believes her sin is too big and Allah will never forgive her.

Raihan has secretly turned to alcohol as a way of coping with bereavement.

These are just 5 examples of the hundreds of calls that Muslim Youth Helpline (MYH) receive on a daily basis. MYH are doing phenomenal work, providing a helpline service for young Muslims in challenging situations.

These phone calls lend a listening ear, provide a way out, and in some cases, even save lives.Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 crisis, there are no volunteers and not enough staff to take on calls; calls from people like Omar, Sana and Dawood.

Missed calls under these circumstances could be fatal for many Muslim youths. Lack of funds mean MYH can’t afford to have more staff on the front line taking calls. When you run a service like MYH, its sometimes hard to sleep knowing that those missed calls did not get the help they needed. £10,000 would cover the cost to fund the presence of more staff to provide faith and culturally sensitive support to hundreds of Muslim youth in the UK.

The #Help10MYH campaign is taking on this challenge. So why not go more than just donating, why not join the team page (https://www.justgiving.com/team/MYH) and help raise just £100!

The average call at MYH lasts roughly an hour, and it costs around £10 to host this call.

The £100 you raise will therefore help 10 callers who desperately need support. Join now and #Help10MYH!​
