Help Omaid's family getting warm clothes

Donation protected

Omaid was a highly-trusted Afghan National employee at our Camp Bastian military base in Afghanistan until it closed.  His brother was killed in a roadside car bomb attack, leaving 26-year old Omaid responsible not only for their widowed mother but now his brother's widow and three young children.  
Poverty and danger are the realities of daily life in war-torn Afghanistan.  And as Western Forces leave this beautiful but ravaged country to fend for itself, desparation and fear are just two of the many obstacles these humble and kind people face every minute of every day.
My name is Martin Trosborg and I'm from Aalborg, Denmark.  I learned of Omaid's plight on social media - as he is a friend and former coworker of mine from my time doing service in Afghanistan . 
Omaid's family survives daily on a diet of flatbread, fermented milk/yogurt soup, and green tea.  The children are not in school because they have no money for clothing and books.  Starvation knocks at their door every day.    
Please help Omaid getting warm clothes for his family, as the weather is getting very cold in Kabul right now.  
Money will be used as followed:

3000 DKK - Warm Clothes for Omaid's family.

500 DKK - Warm clothes to Omaid so he can work outside all day.

1500 DKK - Helping with rent, so they can still have roof over their head.

All donations are deposited   directly into my bank account and, from there, in $300 increments, I take to my local Western Union office for transfer to Kabul, Afghanistan.  Omaid must present proper identification and is then given the money in his country's currency.  

Any amount you can contribute is a true blessing and will save one family in Afghanistan from hunger and poverty.
