Ahmed’s Family Needs Your Support Today – A Story of Courage and Survival

Dear Friend,

As we continue to face a critical moment in supporting our refugee neighbors in Atlanta and Savannah with rent assistance due tomorrow, I wanted to share another important story with you—one that highlights the resilience and hope that you are helping to sustain.

Ahmed and his family are refugees who fled Afghanistan after he served as a U.S. military ally. Due to his work with the U.S. military, Ahmed and his family became targets of the Taliban once the country fell. Fearing for their lives, they made the difficult decision to leave their home and seek refuge in the United States.

Since arriving here January 5th, 2025, Ahmed has worked tirelessly to build a new life for his wife and two young daughters in Savannah, Georgia, but the challenges have been enormous. Despite their best efforts, the road to self-sufficiency is not an easy one. They are adjusting to a new culture, a new language, and a new way of life—all while living with the trauma of their past. Ahmed is currently interviewing for job opportunities.

The rent assistance we provide has been a lifeline for Ahmed and his family, allowing them to remain housed while they rebuild their lives. But due to the freeze on government funding, this crucial support has been cut off. Without your help, Ahmed and his family will face the harsh reality of eviction, which would disrupt everything they have worked so hard for.

We need to raise $52,000 in Atlanta and $25,000 in Savannah by TOMORROW, March 1st, to prevent this from happening for 80 households. Your generous donation will provide the critical support they—and so many others—need to stay housed while they continue their journey toward independence and stability.

Please consider making a donation today at weinspirit.org/donate. If you prefer, feel free to reach out to me directly to make a pledge for a donation via mail or through your church and we will contribute this amount toward rent tomorrow.

Ahmed’s family is just one of many who need our collective support. Every dollar you give helps ensure that families like theirs are not displaced and that they can continue to build the future they’ve dreamed of.

Thank you for your compassion, your generosity, and your commitment to standing with refugee families during this critical time. Together, we can make sure that families like Ahmed’s are not left behind.

Sincerely,

Virginia Spencer
Chief Development Officer
