Afghan family in need of emergency housing funds. Their names will remain anonymous for their safety.
The mom, who we'll call Peggy, works full-time at a food packaging plant in the freezer section. She has to put on four layers of clothes to maintain comfort in those temps all day, and is still cold. She has been in and out of the hospital because of how difficult the conditions of this job are. Because of the time off her recovery has required, her family has fallen behind on rent. Not to mention - Peggy is the sole supporter of the family's income. She is going back to work this week pending the company can reassign her to a different work area.
Peggy's family received a 5-day eviction notice last month. Thankfully, they were able to borrow money to cover the cost. However, they owe it back as soon as possible, and will soon owe next month's rent as well. Please consider donating so that they do not lose their housing. Extra funds that do not cover their survival costs will go towards their children in Afghanistan that need their financial support, household items, such as a new bed frame (theirs is broken), and continued rent support. Thank you in advance for your donation.
