I need your help. Well, when I say “I”, I really mean refugees here in Tucson. THEY need your help. Here’s the short version. I just got back from visiting a few refugee families that have come into Tucson in the last 45 days and there’s a LOT of needs for them, I’ll post more about all the needs later, but the critical need right now is school registration.

You see, these families have kids that are old enough to be in school when that starts (August 11th!), but they don’t know English very well (if at all) and they certainly don’t understand the school system. So, they need someone to go with them to get their kids registered for school. That’s a very important thing for them and so I’m going to help out as much as possible.

However, there’s 7 kids and 4 adults that need to get registered and my car only seats 5. So, someone else (or two someones, even better) needs to help out in getting the kids and parents to the schools and help them get registered so they can start school on Monday! So, do you have time during the day (9am to 4pm lets say…) this week to help out? It should only take a couple hours and will mean a LOT to these refugees.

There’s a lot of other needs of course too, but this is the most critical one and the easiest to solve. So, can you help? If so, PLEASE get in touch with me via the form at the bottom of this message. I’ll post more later about how this goes and what else the families need, but for now, this should be enough

Thanks!
