Ramesh Anand Memorial to Support Afghan Refugees

On September 12th, 2011, we suddenly lost the patriarch of our family. Ramesh Kumar Anand was a loving husband, father, "Papa", son, brother, friend and mentor to many people. Not a day goes by without remembering a hug, life-lesson, meal or memory he bestowed upon us . With Papa's ten year anniversary coming up, we want to take the opportunity to help people in-need just like Papa helped all of us when we were in need.

The situation in Afghanistan is heart-breaking. Many families are being forced to make difficult decisions about their well-being. Eventually, these families will need our help with resettlement as they search for a better life. In honor of Papa, we are hosting a GoFundMe for donations to the Nationalities Service Center in Philadelphia.

The Nationalities Service Center prepares and empowers immigrants and refugees in the Philadelphia region to transcend challenging circumstances by providing comprehensive client-centered services to build a solid foundation for a self-sustaining and dignified future. More information about their services can be found at https://www.nscphila.org/.

Thank you in advance for your consideration of a donation; I'm hopeful that our contributions to NSC Philadelphia can help make a difference.

Love Always,

The (extended) Anand family
