A Palestinian Family needs your help
A Palestinian woman and her four children, who prefer to remain nameless, need your help! After seeing her eldest child killed in Palestine and fearing for her remaining children’s lives, “Amina” obtained a visa for the United States and arrived with her children 3 months ago. The father was unable to obtain a visa and is still in Palestine.
Recently, Amina and her children, ages three to thirteen years old, have run into some bad luck, are short on money and living with a friend from the community until we can locate a permanent place. Amina was about ready to move to a homeless shelter until a school counselor phoned the Arab American Community Coalition asking for help for the family. We were able to locate a community member to temporarily house Amina and the children but this is only a temporary solution. We are looking for permanent housing for the family.
Amina is applying for asylum for her family to stay in the United States and is looking for work. The school-aged children are enrolled in school. The children have no toys or books only the clothes they brought with them from Palestine.
The Arab American Community Coalition is helping this family while they get on their feet. We urge you to reach out to this family and help out too. Please remember every bit helps and all donations are tax-deductible!
Your donation will help to make a deposit on an apartment, pay for six months rent while Amina looks for a job, and cloth and feed the four children.
The Arab American Community Coalition is also looking for
· A permanent place for Amina and her four children to live
· Toys and books for children ages 3 to 13 years old
· Clothes for children ages 3 to 13 years ( girls 6 and 3 and boys 13 and 8)
· Furniture, including beds for children
Please send checks payable to: “Arab American Community Coalition” Palestinian Family to: P.O. Box 31642, Seattle, WA 98103
All donations are tax-deductible with 100% of your donation going to the Palestinian Family.
Please don’t forget to check if your organization has a matching program.
