Thank you for writing this and yes, it resonates with me whole-heartedly. We walk alongside people who have come to our city as refugees and are now calling this place home. We have a small non-profit that at the center is about connection building. Trying to connect those in our area to people who are new to our area. The stories are hard, the emotions are real and it breaks my heart. Finding that balance of keeping a soft heart but not being overwhelmed is something I wrestle with a lot. Jessica, you actually spoke online at a conference we held during the Pandemic., It was for a Refugee Highway Partnership Regional round table, Your words impacted me then and they continue to impact me today. Thank you!
