Dear Friends,
Warmest Greetings of the Season! The Ashiyanaa (formerly ASHA for Women) team wishes you and your family the best of health, happiness, and peace.
We want to thank you for your kindness and generosity that has supported Ashiyanaa through these turbulent times. What a year this has been – one of the most challenging in our 32-year history! Amidst the upheaval and uncertainty affecting every aspect of our lives – family, health, school, work, and travel – Ashiyanaa has steadfastly continued to serve the South Asian community with your help.
We launched a new identity as Ashiyanaa (which means home) and broadened our services to all in the community irrespective of age or gender. We welcomed South Asian seniors and their caregivers, and offered resources to Afghan families.
Your donations helped provide professional mental health services and housing/rent assistance to many clients including seniors. In addition, we were able to assist women facing domestic violence and fighting custody battles, as well as give tuition support for some so they could get higher education and become self-sufficient. A client recently shared:
“I just wanted to take this opportunity on this holiday to “Thank You” for all the help and support you and ASHA have given me. I can’t express in words how grateful I am to you. Since we 1st spoke over the phone till now you were always there for me…”
Thank you for your infinite support and trust that has enabled us to help 70 clients and 52 children this year and make a positive impact in their lives.
May we please count on your support and generosity to continue this journey together – renewed, energized, and empowered? There are many ways to become an Ashiyanaa supporter! Donate today.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Priya Kulkarni
President
