The Refugee Welcome Network (RWN) is excited to celebrate the success of several refugees lately that were helped by our team. Here is another note of thanks from a young woman in our community:
I am very grateful for your kind words and your support throughout my journey as a refugee in the U.S. You have been a great help and a source of inspiration for me and my family. Thank you for everything you have done for me. …I will always remember your generosity and compassion. I am proud of what I have achieved so far, and I am hopeful for the future. I will keep in touch with you and my ally, and I will update you on my progress. Thank you again for everything. You are amazing people and I am lucky to have you as friends.
Sincerely,
Z. A., Afghan refugee
Z.A. is working at Amazon, fully supporting herself, and learning how to drive. Congratulations to Z.A. on her achievements!
Are you interested in working with an individual or family to help them achieve independence? If so, we would love your help! You will be trained and paired with another ally in this important and rewarding work. “I believe I get more out of this than they do,” said Ted Howe, RWN Ally. “I have gained new friends.”
