Erin, Anna, and Ahmad thank you for celebrating their birthdays. In lieu of gifts to them, please consider giving to these three boys in Afghanistan who they care about.
Omar (C AF 457)
Omar is an intelligent 11-year-old student. He is from Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan. He loves bicycles, but his mother cannot afford one. His father passed away, so the family faces substantial financial difficulties. The mother, a homemaker, cannot find work. Omar has five siblings.
They live in a rented house with three other families. Omar’s family’s room is very cold, and they only sleep there at night and spend the day in their uncle’s room. They need appliances such as refrigerators, AC, and TV. His needs are:
- – Food: $139
– Fridge: $200
– Washer: $73
