August 4 Afghan Family Apartment Setup in Woodbridge, VA

Date: August 4, 2019

We at KindWorks are excited to prepare the apartment for an Afghan family with 3 children in Woodbridge, VA. The girls are 7 and 2 yrs old, and the boy is 4. We have furnished several homes for this family’s relatives, and we look forward to their participation!

Please join us as we transform an empty apartment into a fully furnished, warm and welcoming home for them. Come for an hour or two to 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! **

Thank you for donating good, dignity-quality furniture and furnishings: clean, unstained, pet-hair-, cobweb- and smoke -free. Like something you would want to gift to a close relative!

The total setup usually takes about 2.5-3 hours from start to finish, depending somewhat on the number of volunteers and the quantity of furniture. 

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, KindWorks Apartment Coordinator
