A warrior in the Army Of Good sent me a new RCA Superadio III and asked me to bring it to Saad, an Iraqi refugee, this week when I go to see him in his new apartment.
We are bringing a number of things for him, and arranging to get him a cellphone, cable service, a 32 inch screen TV, some additional groceries and some watercolors donated by an artist in Vermont.
The person who sent the radio asked me in advance if it was okay to get it for Saad (thank you for asking) and since she didn’t give me permission to use her name yet, I will protect her anonymity.
Thanks to another generous person, we will be able to support the monthly cable and phone fees for a year. I think that will help get Saad stabilized and acclimated,and there are some other refugees with urgent problems that need our help. I bought the television.
Maria is donating a beautiful linen map of Arabia for one of Saad’s walls. We’re looking into buying him a bus pass. Thanks so much for your generosity and support. We are keeping good alive and affecting people’s lives. Refugees suffer enough before they get here, they don’t need to suffer here.
I believe we are saving lives and also keeping hope alive. Thanks for your support.
