Description yeah yeah i know its a bit crammed but meh! It was the message not the stucture i wanted to be noticed
-----
letter thing from me:
When we fast during the month of Ramadhan we experience hunger, this gives us discipline, and InshAllah(God-willing) this also softens our hearts for those who do not get as much as Allah has provided us with. It tests our power of endurance so we may face whatever Allah has in store for us and it also makes us less selfish and more able to resist evil.
In Ramadhan some of us (me, for sure) complain about how hungry we are and we count the hours and minutes til iftar. We go through 30 days of it. But what about those who face this hunger every day? And those who don’t know if they’ll eat at all that evening, let alone iftar?!
The world is unfair. 3 of the richest people have more money than the 48 poorest countries combined. 12 million children under the age of 5 die each year from poverty-related illnesses.
In Islam we say that cleanliness is a part of Faith. Islam teaches us every way that cleans everything that can be cleaned. We perform wudhu and ghusl to purify our bodies. We perform Salaat to purify our souls. And Islam has also given us Zakaat and Saddiqa to purify our money. Let us thank Allah for our wealth that only by His Will we are allowed to have. With the wealth that Allah has provided us with, let us enjoy it by sharing it with those who really need it. Islam also gives us purification and peace of mind with the great kindness we are taught to me towards our parents, elderly, children, spouses, orphans and neighbors.
Allah has also blessed us with Parents or Guardians who have watched over us, clothed us, fed us, and loved us when we could not do anything for ourselves. In events around the world millions of children are left parentless and orphaned with no one to watch after them. Imagine them, scared and alone and confused, with no mother to hold them and comfort them. No father to explain what it happening in ways for them to understand. And no one is there to cook for them anymore. No one there to go to the market and get new shoes. No one to care for them. Allah tells us that those who have mercy, will be shown mercy. And no one has greater Mercy than Allah.
What if, InshAllah, at least one dollar a day could be enough mercy on an orphan that Allah will show you mercy when you will need it? The man who showed mercy on a thirsty dog and fed it with his shoe, he was given Paradise for this. A dog, SubhanAllah (Glorified be God)! And for an orphan, here are a few benifets....

Stuff i got from [link] :
And they feed, for the love of Allah, the poor, the orphan, and the captive... [Soorah al-Insaan, 8]
When a little girl cries halfway around the world, are her tears any less real?
Would you like to be like a Mujaahid or like those who spend their days fasting and their nights praying?
One who cares for widows and the poor is like those who fight in the way of Allah or those who spend their days fasting and their nights praying. [Agreed upon, also in Adab al-Mufrad of Imaam Al-Bukhari in chapter The Virtue of Those Who Care for Orphans ]
Would you like your heart to soften and Allah subhaanahuwata`aalaa to answer your prayers?
A man once came to the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu`alaihiwasallam, and complained that he feels hardness in his heart. The Messenger of Allah said, what translated means, Would you like that your heart becomes soft and that you acquire what you need? Be merciful with the orphan, pat his head and feed him from what you eat. This will soften your heart, and enable you to get what you need. [At-Tabaraanee & As-Silsilah as-Saheehah]
Would you like Allah Subhanahuwata`alaa to remove one of your griefs on the Day of Judgment?
Whoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah will remove from him one of the griefs of the Day of Judgment [Saheeh Muslim]
Would you like forgiveness and bounty from Allah subhanahuwata`ala?
The Shaitan promises you poverty and enjoins you on lewdness. But Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself with bounty. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower. [Soorah al-Baqarah, 268]
Would you like angels to make Du'aa for you?
No day dawns upon [Allah's] servants without two angels descending [to Earth]. One of them says, 'O Allah, give recompense (khalaf) to those who give [charity] '; the other says, 'O Allah give loss (talaf) to those who withhold [charity] '
[Agreed upon]
Would you like to be in the eternal Jannah with our beloved Prophet and the best of creation, sallallaahu`alaihiwasallam?
I and the caretaker of the orphan will enter Paradise together like this, raising (by way of illustration) his forefinger and middle finger jointly, leaving no space in between. [Saheeh al-Bukhaari]
Your compassion and generosity can make a difference in the lives of thousands of Muslims around the world Help bring a smile to your orphan brothers and sisters. Can one get a better deal for 1$ a day?
It is only 30$ a month?
