On behalf of the Kazakhs of the DMV area, let our small contribution serve as support!
For those who wish to provide additional help, there will also be a donation box. All the money will be sent directly to Zhasulan.
Let’s extend a helping hand to our brother, as every Kazakh is our brother!
We eagerly look forward to celebrating this special day together!
