Moment for Mission Urgent Need for Assistance for Afghan Refugees

Moment for Mission

In October, Sughla and her family came to Virginia, fleeing Afghanistan and leaving everything behind.  Her husband was almost killed trying to get into the airport in Kabul, and her brother had to come without his family. The family now faces hunger and poor living conditions without money.  Another sister arrived this week with her 5 children and had to leave her husband behind in Kabul.

Everyone is struggling to adjust to starting over, and Sughla, who speaks English well, carries these burdens the most, getting tearful when telling their stories.    

We Can Help Sughla and others with:

  • Low-cost Apartments
  • Employment Opportunities
  • Adult bikes to get to work
  • Household items such as furniture and carpets
  • Twin beds with sheets, blankets and pillows (These must be new)
  • Kitchen supplies like dishes, pots and pans, silverware and glassware
  • Pressure cookers
  • Toddler beds and cribs
  • Gift cards for diapers and other things
