As RAFT (Refugees And Friends Together) announced last week, we have received notice of our next family’s arrival! This is very exciting and we have only a short time until their arrival at the airport on Thursday, Sept. 26. We would like to invite you to come to the airport to meet the family if you wish to do that.  No media, please.  Their flight is scheduled to arrive at 16:58 (4:58 pm).

To prepare for this arrival we are desperately searching for a 3 bedroom townhouse, or duplex, or whatever seems suitable. And AFFORDABLE. They will have a very limited income so cost is a major consideration.

We have been given some furniture already but still need 3 single bed frames (no mattresses please), just the frames. We also need some household items if you have any towels, or sheets (Queen or single), blankets, glassware, cutlery, etc. A desk would be useful too as the 2 daughters are in school still.

This is a family of a Mom, and 3 daughters.
If you have any items to donate, or ideas on housing, please contact any of the people listed below.
