Last week was a busy one. Thanks to generous donations we receive throughout the year, we were able to provide assistance to five different families within the DS community:

$2,500.00 to the family of a local guard at the US Embassy Kabul (Afghanistan) who perished in a suicide bombing at his mosque. He had been with the embassy for 10 years. He leaves behind a wife and 8 children (aged 2 months to 21 years)

$1,000 to the family of a local guard at US Consulate General Kolkata (India) who succumbed to complications of COVID-19. He had been with the embassy for 23 years. He leaves behind a wife who is pregnant with their first child

$4,000 to an employee at US Embassy San Salvador (El Salvador) whose home was destroyed in a flood.

$500 to the family of a local guard at the US Embassy Port-au-Prince (Haiti), who succumbed from complications from COVID-19, to cover funeral expenses. He had been with the embassy for 22 years

$2,500 to the family of a police officer at the US Embassy Mexico City (Mexico). He succumbed to complications of COVID-19. He had been a member of the perimeter protection team for the past 17 years

Sending strength and support to those going through difficult times and wishing good health to all within the DS community.
