May 2010
SOAR-LA expresses gratitude and appreciation to sisters: Lily Balasanyan and Ani Gafafyan, of Envy Salon and Spa in Studio City, CA, for hosting a very successful fundraising event for the orphaned Armenian children, on Sunday, May 23rd, 2010. Envy salon hairdressers: Ani Gafafyan, Gayan Chivichyan, Angela Matadaryan, Helen Chaldranian and others donated their time and services and provided free hair cut and blow dry (valued $80) to all attendees. Participants in turn generously donated to SOAR-LA in support of the 1500+ orphaned Armenian children living in 14 orphanages in Armenia and Artsakh.
Helping children has always been Lily’s and Ani’s passion who continue their support of SOAR-LA and its mission in providing humanitarian relief and aid.
We appreciate Envy Salon’s selfless act and generosity, hoping that it will inspire other businesses and organizations to do the same.
 
April 2010
In April 2010, SOAR we received an emergency request from Kharberd Orphanage to purchase 13 commodes for the physically and mentally challenged children who reside there. Immediately after receiving the request from Kharperd, we contacted the Jerrehian Foundation and inquired about funding for this project. Within only a few days, we had received a $2,000 check from the Foundation to cover this expense. The commodes were purchased shortly thereafter. We extend extreme gratitude to the Jerrehian Foundation, specifically Dean Jerrehian and Amy Jerrehian, for their generosity and their expeditious response to our request! Below are two pictures from the delivery of the commodes and a thank you letter from Kharberd's Director
