The drive was a big success! We filled 27 boxes and delivered them to the families in El Cajon who were very happy to receive so many household cleaning supplies.  I wish very much each of you could have sat and had tea and cookies with one of the Syrian couples and their three little boys, as Karen Gross and I were able to do.  It was a real privilege and boosted my energy and desire to be of service as best I can be gong forward.

Thank you to all who attended the October 29 bagel breakfast with Kristin Burke, founder of Second Families—a grass-roots organization connecting refugee families with American families. Follow Second Families on Facebook to stay updated and get involved in their work.
