<div><strong>Urgent: We need to raise $8,000 immediately to secure our first community space and launch programs for youth and families.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is <strong>Aweys Ali</strong>, and I have watched families in my community struggle in silence.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have seen a mother arrive in Louisville with no English, no connections, and no one to call for help. I have seen young men with no direction, searching for somewhere to belong. I have seen children who are bright and full of potential but have no safe place to go after school.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is why I started <strong>Afrikana Community Center Inc.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am a Somali-American community leader who has spent more than <strong>10+ years serving African immigrant and refugee families in Louisville, Kentucky.</strong> I know this community. I know their struggles. And I know what becomes possible when people are given the right support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have already taken real steps.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Afrikana Community Center Inc. is now a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.</strong> We have built partnerships with masjids, nonprofits, and community organizations throughout Louisville. We are actively working to establish a permanent home where African families can find support, opportunity, and belonging.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Your Donation Will Help Build </strong>
</div>
<div> • After-school mentorship for youth 
</div>
<div>• English and job readiness programs 
</div>
<div>• Emergency assistance for families in crisis 
</div>
<div>• A safe and welcoming community space
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every Dollar Creates Real Impact</strong> 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$25 — School supplies for a child 
</div>
<div>$50 — Supports English and job readiness classes 
</div>
<div>$100 — Helps a family facing hardship 
</div>
<div>$500 — Helps launch our first full program
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have raised <strong>$385 so far</strong>. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our <strong>immediate goal is $8,000</strong> to secure space and launch programs. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our<strong> full vision goal is $15,000</strong> to establish and expand Afrikana Community Center into a lasting home for families and future generations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are not waiting for perfect conditions because families need help <strong>right now</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar brings us one step closer to opening our doors and changing lives. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you cannot donate today, please share this campaign. One share can reach the person who changes everything. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in our mission. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>God bless you and the city of Louisville</em></strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
