A Delivery Made To Arrive Ministries For Refugee Children From Ukraine and Congo
Here are some photos of our delivery to Arrive Ministries yesterday. Had a very nice talk, the Arrive Ministries Communications Director did an interview with me….and I learned more about the refugee process. This is an amazing learning process for me…. as I learn about the process that the families go through, and the processes of the resettlement offices. The more I learn….the more my passion for this work intensifies.
Enjoy the photos!

Here are some photos of today’s delivery of Doll, Buddy Bear and Teen Totes to The Center for Victims of Torture. CVT does the work that most of us could not do….and that is to help these families through the torture they have suffered. They listen and support torture sufferers through everything they have gone through. My heart does flip-flops when we make a delivery to CVT.
Don’t Cry…I’m Here Continues Their Work With Lutheran Social Service–Refugee Services In Minneapolis
Here are some photos of today’s delivery of Doll, Buddy Bear and Teen Totes to Lutheran Social Service-Refugee Services in Minneapolis. It was such a pleasure to meet up with Margaret Yapp to make this delivery for these little Ethiopian, Somali, Congolese, Arab, and Eritrean kids.
Margaret Yapp said that refugee arrivals continue to be more busy for LSS. And that is just GREAT news. Every child that arrives safely in the United States will find a whole new and exciting life….and DCIH is there to give the children a big WELCOME and something to hug that is their very own.

Here are some photos from our two deliveries this past Monday. The first delivery was to Lutheran Social Service-Refugee Services in Minneapolis. The second delivery was to International Institute of Minnesota in St. Paul. Despite the fact that the work we do is very serious work….we have fun making our deliveries. I always seem to learn something new about refugee resettlement…and we always have a hug and a laugh. I have the best job in the world.
