WINTER HITS HARD

Winter can make or break survival for any of us. And for our vulnerable sisters and brothers—those already suffering from poverty, displaced from their homes, with no food or water—the freezing temperatures add another battle they have to fight to survive. Our team at IRUSA will be working from now and all winter long to aid communities braving the cold. But we need your help.

Sharing your warmth helps our sisters and brothers get through the winter. Your donation provides vital items like food, medical aid, water, blankets, mattresses, plastic sheeting, plastic mats, shoes, jackets, hats, sweatshirts, gloves, waterproof coats, socks, and more.

It is very difficult to imagine leaving our friends, family members, homes, and possessions behind to escape bombing raids. Unfortunately, this is something millions of Syrians have had to do.

Umm Abdo's story is like so many other Syrian refugees that we were forced to flee into uncertainty. The difference is that YOUR donations helped Umm Abdo’s family stay warm in winter.

“After Islamic Relief provided us with enough coal so we can stay inside our tent, without the need to go to our neighbors tents or collect firewood. With this warmth, we are reminded of our beautiful life before the war. I ask Allah to return us to our villages and homes so we can live in peace with our relatives and neighbors who have been separated from us by this war." 

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.

GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past seven years, it has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.  Islamic Relief USA celebrates its 9th year participating in GivingTuesday.

This Giving Tuesday, make a bigger impact by getting your friends and family in on the action.  You can create a fundraising page right HERE, and encourage them to keep someone warm this winter by donating.  We'll give you the tools to create a great look page that you can share on social media sites like Facebook and Instagram.  Give hope and start a campaign to raise a little or a lot for winter aid TODAY!
