West London Tower Fire Survivors
Donation protected
In the early hours of Wednesday 14th June, a massive fire broke out in Grenfell Tower, Latimer Road which quickly engulfed the building in which hundreds of people will have been sleeping at that time.
Whilst the firefighers are still struggling to bring the fire under control- what is certain is that homes have been lost- and many families are going to be homeless left with nothing in the coming days and week.
This is an emergency fund to help raise money to alleviate the needs of the families affected. We have friends and family helping in the relief efforts in London who are on the scene and working directly with families affected by the fire.
Local Mosques and Churches have opened their doors to help shelter those affected- The money raised is aiming to purchase emergency items such as clothes/ Blankets/ Food/ Water as necessary through the organisations already on the ground looking after families.
Many Muslim families also lived in the tower block. It is a duty for us as the Muslim community to be at the forefront of helping ALL families affected in their hour of need especially in these last few precious days of Ramadan. I'll be working closely with National Zakat Foundation, other local organizations and GoFundMe, to ensure the funds are released in the best way possible, and I'll keep all of the supporters of this campaign updated on this
