AYEO, with the help of all of our supporters, has raised over $22,000 in only 2 weeks! With all those donations we have fed thousands of people, we have supplied students with school supplies and orphans with an Eid (Islamic holiday) they will never forget. It was a very successful fundraiser and AYEO wants to personally thank every single person who helped make this possible. We have saved lives together and this is just the begining. AYEO will be starting a Winter Warmth Fundraiser very soon to help provide warmth to the poor, helpless people living on the streets of Afghanistan during the ice cold winters.

I truly feel like I am living a dream and I don't want to be waken up. This dream began in 2007 and finally I see it becoming a reality. AYEO, started off between three sisters, expanded to friends, and their friends of friends. After all the hard work, dedication, determination all of the AYEO members have put into this organization, it is finally paying off. It is the beginning of day 9 of the "Emergency Fundraiser: Iftaar Food in Kabul" and we have started off the day with a total of $10,085 in donations! I am truly amazed on how successful this fundraiser has become. The first day, a goal of $100 was set, but just within the first 24 hours we raised over $1000! This shows to everyone, that nothing in life is impossible! By coming together, we can make a difference in the lives of those in need. We can give them hope for a future of health, security, education, and most importantly, their happiness. My heart is full of tears for the people in Afghanistan that don't have any homes or access to any source of food supply. I break down every time I watch videos posted by our Director Mahmood Ahmadi of the distribution of the donations. Iftaar and sahri meals become more difficult to eat. Allah (swt) has blessed my family and me with food on the table at every meal (subhanAllah), but there are people all around the world that don't know when their next meal will come. Please, for the people of my country, I am begging everyone who reads this blog to support AYEO and this fundraiser! Any contribution can go a long way. Even dedicating your time to tell all your family and friends about this cause can help a great amount. Donate money to feed a family of five for up to two weeks! With the blessings of Allah (swt), this is just the beginning to a new change. A beginning of better times. A beginning of hope for our people in Afghanistan. Together as one, I assure you nothing is impossible.---Lailah Mobaligh, President of AYEO

If you haven't already please do check out AYEO's videos to see where your donations are going at: http://www.youtube.com/user/AYEOorg#p/a/u/0/y3Xc7BfOzL0
After watching the videos I literally had tears running down my cheeks. Tears of happiness, that donating as little as a $1 is bringing these people so much happiness. Donating as a little as $17 you are giving a family food to eat for 2 weeks. At the same time I have tears of anguish knowing that we still need more! After every donation drop there are still people who are hungry and there are still people who didn't get food. |

Less than 3 days ago we began this Emergency fundraiser and amazingly, we have surpassed our $1000 a day goal! With the support of all of you who donated we are at $5000 in less than 3 days! I can't even begin to explain the feeling inside of me right now. I want to call this a miracle, but i think it's more than a miracle, its a movement, it's man kind coming together as a whole to promote a cause that is saving lives on a daily basis during this Holy Month of Ramadan. Although, $5000 is a tremendous amount I know we can raise so much more! Every day our Director distributes food, he is forced to leave so many still hungry because it's not enough, we need YOUR HELP! Please continue spreading the word and please continue to donate! Let us unite in a spectacular cause; a cause that has no race, a cause that has no religion, but rather has the same goal as everyone else- to Alleviate the pain and suffering of the impoverished people of the war-torn country of Afghanistan. Thank you again & God Bless.
