An Ark Immigration Clinic Mazal Tov! |
|
Mazal tov to our friend Adriana, who just became our 17th immigrant friend to win her asylum case! And mazal tov to clinic volunteers Helen Feuer, Lizzie Reis, Patrick Johnson, and Cally Guasti who accompanied and supported Adriana in preparing her asylum application. We're deeply moved by this message from Adriana to our team (shared with permission):
|
|
“I left Peru with fears but with conviction. My story is the story of thousands of trans women in the world. Seeing your love and dedication to help others committed me even more to my dreams and missions. My loyalty and gratitude to each one of you. Do not lose heart in your desire to return smiles and peace to vulnerable human beings.” |
|
Read Adriana's full message here. |

Join CBST’s Ark Clinic community as a volunteer! No experience necessary; we provide training and mentorship, you provide a gentle, welcoming, non-judgmental presence. Email sanctuary@cbst.org to connect.
