Refuge for Refugees Committee members went to the airport last week to greet our newest refugee family and were disappointed to discover that they had been prohibited from boarding their plane because the U.S. had filled its quota of 30,000 refugees for the fiscal year. We, and the NGO with which we work – USCRI, are hopeful that they will arrive in early October when a new quota goes into effect. We thank all of you who supported this effort to “Welcome Home” a new refugee family. To learn more, or to volunteer to help with this family’s adjustment to the U.S., contact our team leader Beverly Yekeson at byekeson@gmail.com, or team member MM Cupitt at mmcc.ltc@gmail.com.
