Fight the Freeze This Winter for Widows & Orphans
As the chill of winter sets in, it brings challenges for women and children all around the world.
In these colder months, the struggle to secure essentials – food, clean water, warm shelter, and healthcare – grows ever more daunting. This winter, we invite you to join our ‘Fight the Freeze’ initiative, a campaign dedicated to bringing warmth and hope to orphaned children and their widowed mothers in need.
In Gaza, 11-year-old Baraa lives with his widowed mother in a small shed with metal slats for a roof. Since his father’s passing, life has been a relentless struggle, especially during winter. But last year, just when all hope seemed to be lost, a generous donation changed everything.
“This is a special gift for me. My health used to be so bad in winter but now the kit protects me from getting the flu and I can enjoy good health. The blanket is thick and soft and helps me sleep peacefully and comfortably. The clothes are heavy to keep me warm. It has everything I need. I don’t feel there was any missing items. Thank you from my heart for this kind support.”
Your support can ignite a flame of hope for families like Baraa’s. With options to provide emergency medical care, Winter Relief Kits, or even build a safe, warm home, your donation makes a difference.
This year, our team at OINUSA is focusing its efforts in areas where it gets coldest: Pakistan, Jammu and Kashmir, and Palestine (Gaza).
Can equip an orphan with a Winter Relief Kit, complete with a warm blanket, hat, scarf, gloves, and an insulated coat.
Can furnish a family with a Winter Relief Kit for a month, which includes clothing, blankets, and food.
Can offer crucial emergency medical care and hospital support.
There’s No Place Like Home
‘Home’ often seems like a distant dream for many widows and orphans. Their reality is one of icy, damp shelters and cold nights. But, with your support, we can change this. Building a home for these families offers them a sanctuary of safety and warmth, a place where they can thrive despite winter’s harshness.
Our widow homes are more than just shelters. They include bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and clean water, along with comforting furnishings and regular food supplies, ensuring a true sense of home and belonging.
Can build a safe, warm home for a widow and her orphaned children.
Our mission goes beyond battling the cold. We’re fighting against the hardship that orphaned children and widowed women face — and we are committed to bring warmth, safety, and sustenance to the most vulnerable.
As we unite to Fight the Freeze The Winter, remember that each donation, especially with our $1 million matching gift, has double the impact before January 31.
Together, we can offer more than just relief; we can bring hope and resilience to orphaned children and widowed mothers.
