This year for Armenians in the United States,
Thanksgiving has taken a new meaning. Coming off the heels of the 100th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, we are grateful for our survival and
triumph, culminating in the birth of the modern day Republic of Armenia and the
liberation of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh). Since independence, Armenia Fund
united hundreds of thousands of its generous donors and volunteers around the
world. Armenia Fund, literally, became the locomotive empowering an
ever-engaging and selflessly-motivated Armenian Diaspora – the strategic
cornerstone critical for the viability of Armenia’s independent statehood.

In this spirit of unity and support, the New York and the
Los Angeles affiliates of Armenia Fund have come together to jointly present
the 2015 International Thanksgiving Day Telethon – “Our Home” to be aired
November 26th. This appeal is going to all our supporters regardless of state
and all donations will come to one place, California. By streamlining our
efforts and combining our unique talents and resources, we will better serve
Armenia and Artsakh by reducing costs and operational expenses, thus allowing
more funds to be allocated for projects.
This year Armenia Fund is appealing to all Armenians
around the world to rally resources for our largest humanitarian project yet –
building new, fully furnished single family homes for families in Artsakh who
have 5 or more children and live in inadequate housing. Medical research shows
that overcrowding and poor living conditions result in slow growth in children
and severely increases the risk of disease including meningitis, tuberculosis,
asthma and heart disease.
We ask you to support this great humanitarian undertaking
generously. The cost of one single family home (including land, furniture and
appliances) is $50,000. We ask you to help parents of 5 or more children in
Artsakh raise the next generation of Armenia's and Artsakh's scientists,
doctors, statesmen and artists by giving them the housing they need to raise
their children in a clean, modern and sanitary environment!
