SAYFSM (Sub-Saharan African Youth and Family Services of Minnesota) Christmas Party

Once again, SAYFSM is blessed by the generosity of Normandale Lutheran Church. Thank you for hosting the Christmas party for our clients. Your generous support provided gifts for 41 African immigrants who are living with HIV/AIDS. We were able to give each one a gift card for $75! That is phenomenal and really brightens their holiday season.

We are indeed blessed to have such unfailing and devoted support. With your help, we are improving the lives of African mmi-grants and refugees living in the Twin Cities. You are a valued and cherished partner.

Ephraim Olani, SAYFSM Executive
