For many, if not all, Afghan refugee families, they are starting over. They have fled their home country, a place that is familiar to them, and often arrive in the United States with little to no personal belongings. Amshera helps these families by providing them with basic necessities while they acclimate to living in a new, foreign country. From basic toiletries to clothes and even small appliances, we are providing these families with what they need at no cost to them.

The vast majority of Afghan refugees coming to Texas don’t speak English. This makes everything from basic communication to scheduling healthcare appointments extremely difficult in a country that primarily speaks English. Our volunteers and mentors take on the role of advocates for these families and help to ensure that they are able to get appointments scheduled as well as interpreting important mail.

Texas is known for its country hospitality, so let’s show that together. Everything that you donate goes towards helping these families with groceries, household items, transportation, healthcare, employment services, schooling services, and so much more. Amshera needs your generous donations and help to be able to provide more of these vital needs to Afghan refugee families here in Fort Worth.
