May 25 Apartment Setup for Afghan Family with 3 children in Manassas, VA

Date: May 25, 2019

KindWorks will prepare the apartment for an Afghan family with 2 girls (10 & 4 yrs old) and a boy age 6, in Manassas, VA.  Girl Scout Troop 706 will provide much of the setup power but others are welcome to donate items and participate!

We invite you to 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, lay out toys and hang art. Many hands make light work and it’s a lot of fun!  We will begin the setup at 12noon on May 25. 

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.

The total setup usually takes about 2.5 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 Abdelatey & Sue Cohn, KindWorks Apartment Coordinators
