"I have empathy and compassion for people who are coming to America and trying to just make a way... I think they need people to walk alongside them."
“At this time in America, where there’s a lot of dissension and separation and contention and anger, what’s been wonderful about this experience is the number of people who’ve just wanted to join us, to participate, to help out.”
“This is a way for us to bring the international to Decatur, and for us to see how we directly impact people from another country.”
