The “YurdaYardım – Aid to Azerbaijan” campaign organized by the member of Azerbaijani community in Florida Hasan Isgandar has been successfully completed.
Thanks to donations from Azerbaijanis residing in the US and some other local donors, one-time food aid was sent to 30 low-income and veteran families in honor of the 30th anniversary of the restoration of Azerbaijan’s state independence. The supply and delivery of food packages for the project was carried out with the organizational support of the “Damla” Public Union operating in Azerbaijan. The food package included meet, butter, vegetable oil, rice, vegetables, tea, candies for kids, and more.
The families of 22 veterans and 8 children deprived of parental care that were aided through the campaign expressed their gratitude to their compatriots living in the United States for not forgetting them on such a significant day.
Hasan Isgandar, the organizer of the campaign, told ARAZ Media: “I am glad that the families receiving assistance will not be left with empty table on this significant day for our nation. Such campaigns will often take place before many other significant days, and we hope that our compatriots in the US will be more active. This time, our capabilities were limited as we could only collect 3,000 Azerbaijani Manats. However, I understand, it is my first experience and I believe we will achieve much more in the future. If our compatriots here provide more support, we will be able to serve our people more. Unity is our strength – we are strong together”.
