First birthday in the US! This young woman has been in the US a little over a month. Pretty fun celebration at Turtle River State Park.
We need lamps for our new refugee families! Sometimes they need new switches or shades. John Shabb got two lamps working today! If you have a lamp in good condition, donate it! We love it when they come with shades, ready to go!
