“Since discovering AFRO, I have truly found my community. AFRO has been a tremendous help to me, and I always look forward to coming here and enjoying time with everyone. The support I’ve recieved has been invaluable, making me feel wanted and appreciated. It was by sheer luck that stumbled upon AFRO. I happened to be walking around, not knowing what to expect, when came across this amazing community. From that moment on, AFRO has become a significant part of my life. If it weren’t for AFRO, I don't think I would still be here.”

“Mona was our lifeline during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mona made sure we had hand sanitizers and face masks, delivering them to our homes. She continuously checked on us, ensuring we were all okay. Mona is like the daughter never had; she makes me feel important, wanted, and loved. Thank you, Mona, for everything. Without AFRO I wouldn't know where I would be.”

“AFRO has made integrating into my community and other communities, so much easier. I now have a home and a local grocery store to do my shopping, thanks to the resources I was provided with. I have received interpreting services for places such as the passport, doctor’s and lawyer’s office. I am glad to have had access to so many services through AFRO. They continue to be there for me and my granddaughter whenever we need help. I cannot express how much Mona and her organization has helped us. May Allah bless her”
