Help Us Support Resettling a Family

From Amelia Eanes

We are sponsoring a family of six who courageously evaded persecution from the Taliban. We will use funds to help them obtain jobs, housing, transportation, clothes, food, and navigate the US visa process.

Update #4

Hi Everyone! This will be our last update to help preserve the family's privacy but I am happy to say they are on their way to being resettled.

Roughly half of your donations are going to the International Rescue Committee which is taking on their case. Those donations will go toward their rent for 6 months, utilities, cell phone needs, and background checks for those volunteering on our sponsor team.

The other half will go to purchasing furnishings for their home that cannot be donated, climate-appropriate clothes, various applications, and more.

We cannot thank you enough for your generous donations to resettling this family. Our team of volunteers is now focused on setting the family up to succeed as they navigate their new life in America!

Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks again.

Update #3

Hi Everyone! Our family's application is still being processed. They have been interviewed on-site and it sounds like it went well! But a case of COVID in the building caused a quarantine mandate, which has slowed things down a bit.

Now they're out of quarantine and ramping up flights to the US. Hoping that our family gets approved and gets here soon!

Please feel free to send me a message for more updates.

Update #2

Just a quick update! Our family was interviewed today in part for their applications to the US. Their applications are still being processed but we are hopeful that their applications will be approved soon!

Unfortunately, there has been a small COVID outbreak at their camp so they can't go outside again for a while. We are really hoping they can get here soon to have some sense of normalcy, given the incredible trauma they have endured.

Please keep us in your thoughts and share the fundraiser if you can, because they will need all the support they can get when they arrive and get their feet on the ground!

Update #1

Hello Everyone! I want to thank you all for donating so selflessly. Your support is overwhelming and our family is so grateful.

We got all six of the USCIS case numbers for each family member today. We are continuing to campaign to our congresspeople to help expedite their cases.

I will post updates here as the process moves along. Thank you all for your continued support and love!

Amelia
