WINTER 2025 FOOD BOX & BLANKET APPEAL
Support Families in Turkiye This Winter – Help Deliver Hope and Warmth
Every year, I return to Reyhanli, Turkiye, to support families who are living in unimaginable hardship. Despite our efforts, we’re always struck by the increasing struggles they face. Families are battling the bitter cold, often without the most basic necessities to keep themselves warm and fed. From camps, orphanages, and shelters—hope feels like a distant dream for many.
I will never forget a moment that stays with me every time I return. After distributing food parcels to families in need, we were about to leave when an elderly lady approached me, her frail hands trembling as she softly asked for a food parcel. My heart sank as I had to look her in the eyes and say, “I’m so sorry, we do not have any more.”
The sadness on her face broke me. She turned away empty-handed, and in that moment, I felt utterly helpless. I vowed to myself that I would never allow something like this to happen again—that I would strive to raise as much as I could, so no one would leave hungry, no one would be turned away.
This January, International Aid Charity UK is on the ground in Reyhanli and surrounding areas, working tirelessly to distribute Winter Food & Blanket Packs to families in desperate need.
Each pack contains:
A 20kg food box to provide essential nutrition.
A 4kg woollen blanket to bring warmth to homes during the bitter winter nights.
For just £50 per pack, you can help a family survive the harsh winter months and ease their suffering.
I will personally be on the ground, packing and hand-delivering each food parcel and blanket with your donations, ensuring your kindness and generosity reach those who need it most.
“This campaign is Zakat applicable,” allowing you to fulfil your religious obligations while bringing comfort, nourishment, and hope to families who are struggling to survive.
Please open your hearts today and donate generously. Together, we can ensure no one is left behind, and no family, widow, or orphan child is turned away. Your support will not just provide food and warmth—it will restore hope where it’s needed most.
Thank you for your compassion and support.
