Financial Assistance Needed to Relocate and Reunite Family Members from PakistanLCC received the following request from Rev. Karl Fay, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Palatine, Illinois:
We have a member family in our midst that has just been notified that seven family members in Pakistan (a family of six and a single woman) just got their U.S. visa application approved after more than a decade of waiting. They are hoping to move to this area in late August. The stateside family is ready to receive their extended family and help them get settled, but has very limited financial capacity to do so. On their behalf, we are asking for financial assistance of $15,000 to cover airfare, rent and living expenses for the first three months. Expenses begin as early as June.
