We have been meeting with a sweet single mom from Congo for several months. Vumilia has a beautiful smile that lights up the room, and a heart that loves and trusts Jesus, but she is often sad and scared too. She asks God to bless us and expresses her appreciation for every little thing we do for her. Vumilia comes to our Basic American Life and Language class and works hard to learn English. In addition to the challenges all refugees face in their journey to escape war, terror and persecution, this lady has raised a son with a severe disability during all those struggles. Now that she is resettled in Memphis, her struggles continue because she  needs to learn so much to be successful here, as well as continue to care for her son who is now 19 years old. Her stress level has been pretty high as she deals with things here that she does not understand and tries her best to figure out. Now she has transitioned to being responsible for her own rent, which adds more scary challenges for her, so Asha’s Refuge has stepped in the gap by paying her rent for July. The cost is $550, and it would be so helpful if you could contribute toward this unexpected expense. As a growing nonprofit, we are doing our best to stretch everything God provides to do the most good with our resources. While we serve refugees in many ways and situations, we have a special heart for those who are additionally challenged by disabilities. If you can help us make up this expense, we would be so grateful. You can use our PayPal button or mail a check to us at 1035 Winchester, Suite A216, Collierville TN 38017. Anything you can give will help.
