Accomplished over the past 6 months:

  • In March we ran life online sessions to offer our warm support and educate anyone about their immigration rights
  • On March 8 we celebrated the International Women's Day with our wonderful friends in a company of our strong Ukrainian women!
  • In April we sponsored and raised $4000 for Roman Kashpur, a wounded soldier who ran his first Boston Marathon with a prosthetic leg. All raised funds went to support 35 Ukrainian veterans' rehab services here.
  • We honored our volunteers at a volunteer recognition party in Olga's Backyard :)
  • In May we worked with Boston Chamber Music Society to provide free tickets to our clients for Sunday concerts at Sanders Theater, Cambridge
  • Boston Ballet donated tickets to our clients to attend three remarkable ballets - Next Generation, Spring Experience and Romeo and Juliet
