August 30 Apartment Setup for Afghan Family of 3 in Ashburn, VA

Date: August 30, 2019

KindWorks will prepare the currently empty home for an Afghan family with a 3 yr old daughter. They are receiving resettlement services through Lutheran Social Services. 

Please join us as we transform their almost empty house 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, lay out toys and hang art. Many hands make light work and it’s a lot of fun! 

Please consider donating any of your dignity condition (used but perfectly clean and good – like you would hand down to a close relative!) items, or purchase items for this project.**

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 KindWorks Home Set-ups HERE. 

Many, many thanks!

Sincerely, Alexa Abdelatey, KindWorks Apartment Coordinator
