Help Afghan Family in Colorado Rebuild After Major Fire
Donation protected
FAMILY IN NEED OF HELP! My name is Steve Baroch. I live in Colorado. My wife, Ana and I, with the assistance of friends and Rotary Members, have been helping an Afghan family get settled in the US. Tragically, on Friday, their apartment complex caught on fire. A firefighter suffered heat exhaustion, but remarkably, no tenant injuries occurred. The cause of the fire has not been determined but the fire started in a different building and moved to the family's building. Their apartment was on the top floor and you can see in the attached video the devastation that occurred.
After the fall of Afghanistan, this family of 7 had to hide in a farmhouse for many months due to Dad’s employment with the US government. They were evacuated by the US and located on a US military base in the Mid-East for many months. They were then transferred to Colorado a little over a year ago. Dad and son found jobs. Son also just graduated from High School and we have helped him get into College to start a medical program. Now, they need to start over. We don’t know about goods or furniture donations at this point because they are having to take refuge in a motel while things get sorted out. We do not know yet where they will live. They are a lovely family with big hearts and have worked so hard to set up a new life in America. Can you help with a financial gift to help them start over. Again.
