KESHER ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Kesher Welcome Circle – together with the refugee resettlement agency HIAS (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) — is thrilled to welcome a young couple and their adorable two-and-a-half- year old son to Englewood.
As Welcome Circle and Kesher members, we have committed to help the family for six months so they may find their footing and begin building new lives here in the U.S. They will be temporarily staying in the area until permanent housing can be secured in a New Jersey community with a core of Afghan families, retail shopping, and other infrastructure.
How You Can Help
Our goal is to raise $30,000 to help get our family on its feet. All funds raised will be expressly earmarked to secure housing, pay for utilities for six months & provide basic necessities. Please act now by going to our dedicated GoFundMe page and giving now, and, if you are able, give generously.
