Hello Everybody:
 

A family of 13 Refugees are in town from Mauritania.  They were brought here by the American government and the Christian Charity Organization from the refugee camp outside Senegal. 

These folks desperately need help.  They speak no English, and everything given to them including their airticket has to be repaid starting right after their 6th mth (mid June).  They were give 3 apartments, 2 bedrooms, 2 bath each with nothing but a couch and 7 twin and 2 full size beds. They do have enough food stuff that they do not have to repay (so pls no food) but in need of other things as they were asked not to bring anything with them.

If anyone can donate or help with any items listed below, it will be greatly appreciated by the family. Folks in the Dallas area are really helping out so if u can afford sending anything thru the mail please do so.  Their address is listed below.  Also ask friends and neighbors too for help.

Contact #’s are: (972) 409-1186; (972)-437-3579;

Address:

Mr Mustapha Sow (Father): 7222 Fair Oaks;   Cedar Cove Apt # 2338;  Dallas;  TX  75231 (pls double check the zip, i may be wrong)

Thanks in advance
