Meal Train® for Afsheen Benab

Please join us in making life a little bit easier (and yummier) for Mr. Benab, the voice of Lafayette! Email address for Mr. Benab: afsheen.benab@k12.dc.gov As many of you already know, Mr. Benab -- the voice of Lafayette through morning announcements, basketball coach as well as guardian of the front office -- has been fighting cancer. The Meal Train has been so incredibly helpful to him, especially on those days where his body is too fatigued to even think about standing up and cooking up some dinner. It's hard to overstate Mr. Benab's gratitude -- he has been so touched by the outpouring of support in the form of healthy meals and nice notes (and we have totally exceeded our fundraising goal of $500!). He's so thankful that the Meal Train lessens the number of trips he has to make to the grocery store or get Uber Eats food delivery. Please create a meal for Mr. Benab using the website (www.cookforyourlife.org/recipe-collections/the-cancer-fighters-favorite-recipes-to-promote-healthy-cancer-survivorship/) or any website whose recipes are geared toward healthy cancer survivorship! ...

Gift card for Mr. Benab's Meal Train?

March 13, 2025 by Lafayette Elementary

Good morning Team Benab!! Thank you all so much for being part of this amazing meal train. He is so appreciative of the delicious meals and the care. Right now he's going through a tricky time in his treatment and we are sometimes having to cancel his meals because of logistics. (Sometimes he is staying with friends post-treatment or he is getting home too late from his treatments.) We are on hiatus until we work through the next bit of medical treatment. A gift card through Meal Train would be amazing at this time if you are able to donate. Thank you so much for all your thoughtfulness and generosity to date!!! Lafayette Gives Back ...

Happy New Year, Lafayette community! Mr. Benab is super excited for 2025 to be the year that he can kick cancer. :) As always, we appreciate your understanding when we get word that Mr. Benab needs us to cancel his meal train at the last moment due to treatment. Huge appreciation for your tasty and healthy meals! Because Mr. Benab is often weak when he is recovering from treatment, he doesn't have the energy to wash and return containers, so whenever possible, please use containers that are disposable. We are grateful for your support on these little details! ...
