<p>This is a comment from a sister about our <strong><a href="http://halfdate.com/currentdrive/">Warm Winter Drive</a></strong> to help Homeless Muslims:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Thank you so much for this link [<a rel="nofollow" href="http://bit.ly/saveourfamilies" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/saveourfamilies</a>].  I actually spent the past 6 months in a homeless shelter because when I converted, me and my two children were kicked out of my mother&#8217;s home.  This place was horrible for me,  they were horrible to me because I was a Muslim.  A convert I know also spent time at the shelter there because he was kicked out of his mother&#8217;s house as well.  Before that I spent another 3 months in a Domestic violence shelter because of an abusive marriage.  I wish there was a homeless shelter for Muslims during my time on the streets with my children.  I am in college now and Alhumdilah I am in a stable apartment, I still do not have my kids with me.  Inshallah things will change soon.  I donated some of my zakat to them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Salamualaikum,</p>
<p>Sister J</p></blockquote>
<p>Please also contribute to this drive with donations or a pleasant word so our Muslim Brothers and Sisters have a warm winter this year.</p>
<p>May Allah (SWT) reward you with the sweetest date in Jannah, ameen!</p>
