We visited an Afghan refugee family of 7 (mom, dad, girl 9, girl 7, girl 5, boy 5 & 2 week old baby girl.
We bought them afghani food, hygiene products, toys, clothes & household items( vacuum, slow cooker, dishes, cookwear, utensils, comforter, curtains, cups & prayer rug)
Alhamdulillah… thank you to our donors & volunteers for making this project happen. Also thank you House of Goods for providing us the address of this family so we can help them.
The family is still in need of couch, kitchen table, Afghani women clothing size L & long sitting mattress. (They do not need kids clothes)

Today we visited Afghan refugee family of 4 (soon to be 5).
We brought some basic household necessities: bath towels, hand towels, dishes, microwave, pillows, sheets, comforters, curtains, utensils, toys, bathroom set, cookwear, hygiene products and a car seat (mom is 8 months pregnant and they do not know the gender of the baby so we will hold off on baby items until the doctor confirms- she was at her visit while we were there)
If anyone has a phone that would like to donate please let us know. This is very important in case of emergency for this family to have as they have small kids and a pregnant woman. No one can reach them to help them.
All praise belongs to God who has brought us all together to help others. We would like to thank our community for online donations & in kind donations. Thanks to you we are able to help these families. Thank you House of Goods Baitulmal for introducing us to this family and others who need help.

Today we deliver a phone to the Afghan family we met few days back.
Thank you Sara Dedic (Dedic Print) for donating Samsun AT&T phone.

One more good news- they will be having a little girl in about a month. We had many people asking to donate baby items. (Crib, mattress, swing have been donated) if you have other items you would like to share let us know in a message.

Today was a little different, we helped a beautiful soul Amila Tutundzic collect essential items for the New Arriving refugees. Amila took it upon herself to collect much needed items to show our new arrivals that community is what we stand for, and for community we will band together. Because together…we can be each other’s guiding light and shine through the darkest of times.
We are so Proud of this community!
