Urgent appeal for a family in Algeria.

Update 2-08-12

Masha'Allah Tabarak'Allah I just received some more pictures from the sr collecting for the family in Algeria. As you know we helped previously with donations to improve their living conditions which you can see below. We also sent a little more donations on the second visit and you will see just how much they managed to buy for Ramadhan and Eid etc. 

Here is a list from the sister with pictures too Subhan'Allah

Here is an update from Algeria about money given for the poor families for Ramadhan

 They bought 66 kg of dates macha ALLAH.
  41  food parcels to give for iftar so inch ALLAH you will get the reward of their fast.

 They also bought sweets to give to children
 and have been able to buy new clothes for the children.

AL HAMDULLILAHI the sister said that they have been able to buy lots of clothes with a bit of money and that Allah has sent His Baraka upon them mach Allah in this blessed month of Ramadhan.
Jazak Allah all  for your help and support.

We have been approached by some dear sisters who are trying to raise funds for a family in Algeria. They are not only living in dire conditions but sadly the Mother has breast cancer and the Father has a heart condition. Subhan'Allah if you look at the pictures below and see just how difficult a situation they are in. 

There are 10 people living in the house with just one small window and they have a serious problem with damp. They are currently looking after another family members children as the father fell from a 4th floor window and died. The inside of the house is in need of some serious help and also they live on a hill which has a steep slope and a ravine at the bottom. We can only imagine how tough these conditions are and also with the added worry living on a steep hill. 

BEFORE

We can see the extent of the damp all over. Even at the head of their beds.

They are also trying to raise enough to buy the family a much needed fridge as you can see below they are in need of one asap

Imagine having old wooden doors as your walls, imagine just how cold and drafty this is. 

And also how steep the hill is just a yard from their door.

Beds are needed too

Bedding is all ripped and worn

A decent table is needed so they have somewhere clean to share and prepare food

This is the medication that the family need each month, all this has to be paid for aswell as needing so much more basic items. We have so much in our homes that we do not use while some have literally nothing.

Never will you attain the good [reward] until you spend [in the way of Allah ] from that which you love. And whatever you spend - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it. 3:92

By Allah, I know I have probably said this in my other posts but I cannot stress enough how important it is to help those who need it. A brother will be travelling to Algeria in January so I am urging you to please give as much as your able. Let's stop wasting our time and our money rushing off to the sales buying things we want, not what we need, and then never using it anyway. The shops and media etc use many tricks and tactics to convince you that you are getting a bargain when really and truly you are not. Why not give something up to help those living in dire conditions. These pictures are real and where not copied and pasted from Google. This is a stark reality for so many families all over the world. We are fortunate enough to be in a position to do something bi ihdnIllah. Even though it may be small to start off with your donations we can help this family have a better safer home. Remember the parents are both ill too so this is a stress and a strain each month finding money for medication let alone caring for the children and providing food and decent shelter for them.

They ask you, [O Muhammad], what they should spend. Say, "Whatever you spend of good is [to be] for parents and relatives and orphans and the needy and the traveler. And whatever you do of good - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it." 2:215

Please do encourage friends and family to give too so that we may give some dignity back to this family who need help. Jazak'Allahu Khairan for reading...x

                                         AND AFTER ALHAMDULILLAH

Subhan'Allah when you see the difference your donations make to someone else's life it makes you wonder just how much we take for granted. May Allah accept the efforts of all involved and may He allow us to continue with the little that we are doing for His sake. Ameen
