BPM donations to Arnold Elementary School Family – Christmas 2016

Last week was very busy with deliveries being made to the families that AFL adopted this Christmas season. Here are the details regarding the family from Arnold Elementary.

From Arnold Elementary School-
Mom and Dad with 4 children (ages 22(m), 10(m), 6(f) and 5(f))
The family came to the USA in December 2010 from a refugee camp in Zimbabwe from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They were in a refugee camp to seek safety from the turmoil in their country. Both parents work very hard to help support their family but still struggle to make ends meet. The oldest sibling is now attending SCC to further his education and to help support his family. The school-age children work hard in school, have learned to speak English and excel academically, and are well-liked by their peers. This summer their sister was gunned down while sitting in a car. She attended the University of Nebraska-Kearney where she was a track star. She had the dream of becoming a public defender. Her family was devastated. The family is very grateful for any support they receive! Some of the things the family asked for simple things, like a gift card for Super Saver and gas. One big item that the family could use is a refrigerator.
