Let's take a moment this fall to appreciate the courage it takes to come to America when you don't know the language or how things work and you don't know anyone you can lean on when things get tough..
I'm writing poems all through the month of November - every day! I'm hoping I'll be able to inspire you to donate to the Center for New Americans--whose mission is something I fully support.
Center for New Americans welcomes and serves immigrants, refugees, migrants, and asylum-seekers in Western Massachusetts. They offer free classes in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), career preparation assistance, support services and immigration legal services.
Thanks so much

Let's spend a whole month supporting a wonderful organization with a mission to create a pathway from beginning to permanence--overcoming obstacles like not knowing the language, not knowing where to find food or housing and connecting everyone with support of all kinds. It's hard getting started at anything. Can you imagine the courage it takes to come to a new country? All things start with a first step. Make yours be one of compassion. Thanks, and I'll be seeing you,
Fin
