Text donations

It is now even easier to donate to your favourite cause. We have set up a mobile phone texting method of giving donations using JustTextGiving by Vodafone.
All you do is save this special texting phone number (70070) into your phones contacts list or just type it into the text messaging (SMS) option on your mobile phone. Then type the 6 figure message code along with the donation amount and ‘send’ this message to 70070. Your donation will appear on your next phone bill and Caravan of Mercy will be paid on your behalf.
We have a different 6 figure message code for each appeal. All text donations are Lillah only. If you wish to use Zakaat or Sadaqah etc. you should use other payment methods (ie. online, phone or in person)

Text donations for the Qur’an project can be made by texting the message QRAN01 £3 to the number 70070 if you want to donate £3 using your mobile phone (lillah only). Change the amount from £3 according to your desire.
For the Syria blanket appeal, text BLAN22 £10 to 70070 (Lillah only)
For the Syria food hamper appeal, text HAMP22 £30 to 70070 (Lillah only)
For the Dawah Pack appeal, text COME11 £5 to 70070 (Lillah only)
For the Syria appeal, text COME00 £20 to 70070 (Lillah only)
To donate to any needy cause, text CRVN01 £20 to 70070 (Lillah only)
For any project according to the need decided by CoM, text LILL44 £5 to 70070 (Lillah only)

The amount of £’s you wish to donate is up to you. The above figures are just an example.

The Caravan in Syria

Our volunteers are now in Syria (as of 7th January 2014) preparing to carry out the the food parcel and winter blanket distribution.
….‘with people surviving on a meal a day, if they’re lucky. Some of the places we went to had meat for the first time in over three months. Now let’s try reflecting this onto ourselves. We complain even when we have three meals every day. It’s our duty to help our Muslim brothers and sisters as soon as possible.”

….“The worst feeling is when, after so much distribution, the food would run out, yet people would still be queuing up waiting, almost begging for a bit of food so that they can feed their families.”
“After going on my first ever trip in 2006, my eyes opened up to on how lucky we really are.
Straight after my first trip, I made a firm intention to do as much as I can to help people all around the world Insha’Allah (God willing).”
