Current Social Action Calendar
WELCOMING GUESTS הכנסת אורחים
A request has come from our partner, Keeping Our Promise, which is bringing an English-speaking Afghan woman and her 16 year old son to the US in around two weeks. Unfortunately, the husband has not yet been approved for a visa, so there is a need to house the mom and child with a family here in Rochester. When the husband arrives, they will move to an apartment. Could anyone from the TBK family accommodate this need? The preference is for a household that, while not necessarily kosher, does not have pork products in the home. Also, if the home were close to a bus route, that would be very helpful (to permit her to learn how to get around independently). If you've been watching the news, you'll know that hosting an Afghan woman is truly helping to rescue someone from an extremely dangerous situation.
Please contact Margie Searl at mbsearl@gmail.com or 585 260 2306. Many, many thanks.
Attention any and all TBK LANDLORDSIf you have a 3 bedroom apartment renting for $1100 or less please consider contacting the Social Action Committee next time it’s available so that we can help fill it!
As the U.S. withdraws from Afghanistan the State Dept is starting once again to issue long delayed Special Immigrant Visas for those individuals and their families who have helped our troops. Some of those families will be coming to Rochester due to the efforts of Keeping Our Promise, a local organization with whom TBK partners. Apartments of this size and price range are increasingly hard to find and any leads will be gratefully received.
