As part of their student visa application process, Haven on Garland provides a letter of full living cost financial support for these Afghan girls as they seek to get study visas.

Thus, the most direct need you can help support are living expenses that include:

• utility costs
• food costs at home and at school 
• clothing for all of Virginia’s seasons
• school supplies
• textbooks
• transportation costs
• healthcare expenses not covered by insurance
• tuition expenses not fully covered by academic scholarships
• other living expenses

As a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code every donation makes an impact.  Your financial support goes directly to the care of the residents of Haven on Garland.

A majority of our grocery and living expense shopping is done at our local Kroger, Food Lion and Target stores.  In place of a direct financial contribution, gift cards to any of these stores would all go to strengthen the ability to continue providing for our students living and well-being expenses.
