2023 Giving Tuesday Campaign: Housing for Displaced Artsakh Families
This year, SOAR is dedicating our Giving Tuesday Campaign to the housing needs of two Fallen Soldier/Artsakh families.
Our goal of $20,000 will help provide housing and household furnishings for both families.
Family of Fallen Soldier Andranik Harutyunyan
Andranik gave his life on September 20, 2023, while serving as a Senior Lieutenant in the army. He leaves behind his wife, Armine, and daughter, Lusya (DOB 5/26/2020). The family escaped Stepanagert on September 25, leaving everything behind. Armine and Lusya are living with Armine's brother (family of 6) and their grandmother in a small apartment. The family needs housing and household furnishings.
Family of Fallen Soldier Gagik Balayan
Gagik gave his life on June 28, 2023, from a drone strike while serving in the Martakert and Martuni regions. He leaves behind his unemployed wife, Meline, two daughters, Susanna (15) and Syuzanna (13), and two sons, Martin (7) and Mark (5). The only assistance the family has received is a burial for Gagik. The family was forced to leave Artsakh on September 25, leaving everything they owned behind. The family needs housing and household furnishings.
Your donation will help provide housing for the Families of Fallen Soldiers Andranik Harutyunyan and Gagik Balayan, who lost EVERYTHING when forcibly removed from their homes in Artsakh. Their forced relocation was even more devastating as both families had just lost their husbands and fathers.
You can also donate via Venmo at @SOAR-National!
