Imagine the heartbreak, their dreams shattered, let's try and pick up the pieces..

The people Umrah Fund support are at the cusp of their battles and hardships. Can you imagine some of life's hardest tests?

The loss of a child? Of several children? 

To survive a fire only to realize you are the only one in your family left alive? 

To live each day for years suffering from crippling depression? To survive through several years of cancer? Torture?

Some of the worlds most tested is poor. There is no way they can afford to go to Umrah for this life-changing trip. So They suffer, crying tears of pain, begging Allah for relief from their own thoughts. Yearning for a way to find solace in their hearts.

People who have endured trials we cannot imagine need spiritual support. They need the journey of a lifetime, to reconnect with Allah: to soothe and heal their pain.

Allah has given many of us in this world tests.

Some of us have the resources to reset our hearts by visiting the beautiful and holy House of Allah in Makkah. Sometimes twice or three times in our lives. Others who cannot afford it need to go. They need to be cleansed and their hearts made light by the visit to the land where Rasul Allah walked.  

Now there is a plan, and a team, that can make it happen.

My name is Abdul Rahman Peter, I'm 40 years old man and went a very long journey which brings me closer to understanding, how things are. There is still much to learn therefore Allah gave me the chance to explore more. I can divide my life for 5 periods where lessons slowly shape themselves, and purification takes place. First 20 years I suffered from several illnesses and traumatic experiences in my childhood, due to this I became mentally ill, suffered from anger problems and rebelled against God. I lived with 15 years of depression and anxiety, and then
10 years of heavy labour work for little or no money, I then got married and after 10 years of marriage when I accepted Islam my wife left me
and took my two kids.

At the age of 33, I wasted all possible ways for understanding what life is trying to tell me and load I carried become too heavy to lift. I
started exploring spirituality. I have been and lived, pray with each environment for about 1.5 years each. It was Buddhism, Christianity,
Hare Krishna, and now Islam. I have slept on streets, park benches and
on sofas of different peoples front room. I am now going to Umrah, I made dua for this every week for years.

This year, we surprised more deserving people:

And dozens more...

Now, we want you to help us share this life-changing opportunity with more people around the world.

It is out of care and love that we offer Umrah for those who are often consumed by fear, horrible memories or devastating loss.

We
 cannot do anything to take their memories away or rewrite their lives,
but we can do something that will help them cope day-to-day.

We need your donations to keep our program running, and to add to the small number that we send to Umrah each year.
