Help Single Mom of 4 Support Family
Donation protected

My friend, a single mom, came to the U.S. as a refugee five years ago with her 4 children. I had the privilege of teaching her children in my ESL program at school, and we have become great friends. She is here legally, has a green card and is studying to become a US citizen. Due to medical problems and her limited English, she is not able to work at a regular job. The only income she has comes through baking her delicious flat bread which she sells at a market in Oakland. Recently, the tandoori oven she uses to cook her bread broke and could not be repaired (she bought it used and it was very old). Now she desperately needs to buy a new oven, hopefully within 2 weeks, so she can make money to pay her rent.
She is extremely hardworking, and very frugal, but she has no resources to purchase a new oven. She will be eternally grateful for any donations given. Thank you so much!
