Eid Gifts of Happiness 

This Eid we want to bring joy and happiness to children who are suffering from cancer at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Eid is a happy and festive time in the Muslim community but for many children suffering from life limiting conditions like cancer, Eid will be spent in hospital away from family and friends. This can be a particularly testing time for the children and we want to bring happiness to these children who are suffering from cancer and other illnesses at Great Ormond Street Hospital. 

Children like my nephew Musa who had undergone a bone marrow transplant recently from his 5 year old brother have had to battle cancer and endure medical treatment such as the extremely testing times of chemotherapy and on a day to day basis, which is physically and emotionally draining for these children who are aged between 1 - 16 years old. 

We want these children to know that despite this difficult and testing time for them, there are moments of joy and sharing gifts with them this Eid will bring about happiness! 

Give the Gift of Happiness 

The gifts we buy will bring happiness to these children, for some of whom isolation and being in the hospital has become their home and daily norm. Some cancer patients are unable to leave their room so through our Eid Gifts of Happiness project we hope to bring them some wonderful joy on the occasion of Eid regardless of whether the children are Muslim or not. 

We need £30 for each gift so that every child receives 2 big presents they're happy with including a book about Eid and sweet treats across 4 wards in the hospital as agreed with Great Ormond Street Hospital where cancer patients are treated. We will gift wrap them and ensure that they are suitable for each age of every child.
