April 2 Apartment Setup for 2 Women from the Ivory Coast

Date: April 2, 2019

KindWorks will prepare the apartment for two women from the Ivory Coast on Tuesday, April 2 at 10am. They are relatives (at least one is elderly) of the mom and 2 young girls for whom we prepared an apartment in late February.

Please join us as we transform an empty apartment into fully furnished, warm and welcoming home for them. Come for an hour or two to unload and arrange furniture, organize the bedrooms and kitchen, put together and make beds, and hang art. Many hands make light work and it’s a lot of fun! **

We are thrilled that our excellent community partner, Moyer and Sons Moving and Storage, will deliver the big furniture to the apartment. We value our partnership with them and appreciate the hard work that their efficient and excellent movers provide!

Please email Alexa at aabdelatey@earthlink.net or call/text (540) 538-9696 at any time in the process if you have questions. 

If you would like to participate but are unable to bring items or volunteer, please consider a financial donation in support of the KindWorks Refugee program HERE

Many, many thanks!

Sincerely, Alexa Abdelatey & Sue Cohn, KindWorks Apartment Coordinators
