Give it up for HHUGS

Dhul Hijjah is here, 10 sacred days more beloved to Allah than any other.

A time when every deed is multiplied. A time rooted in sacrifice.

So we’re asking you...

What will you give up, so someone else doesn't have to?

It could be your morning coffee.

Your evening takeaway.

Your daily scroll on social media.

Or even your gaming sessions.

It might sound small.

But for the families HHUGS supports, like widows, mothers, and children left behind by unjust detentions. Your small act of giving something up can create waves of change.

Why "Give It Up"?

Because behind every forgotten family is a series of quiet sacrifices they never chose to make:

• Giving up heat to afford rent
• Giving up food so the children can eat
• Giving up therapy because legal bills come first
• Giving up the hope of a normal Eid... again

They didn’t choose this. But you can choose to carry some of their burden, by giving up something you can live without, to support what they can’t live without.

The Spirit of Hajar

This isn’t just a challenge. It’s an echo of Hajar’s run through the desert, alone, desperate, yet determined.

She gave up comfort. She gave up safety.

And because of that, Allah answered with Zamzam - mercy amid scarcity.

You’re not just skipping dessert or turning off your phone.

You’re choosing to walk in her spirit... to run, even briefly, for someone else.

“Giving up chocolate was the hardest thing I’ve done all year, but knowing it helped a mother reconnect with her child made it worth every bite I didn’t take.”

— Saira Amin
