Help Me Build Belonging with Joy

Right now, immigrants and refugees across the U.S. and right here in our neighborhood are facing growing barriers to safety, stability, and inclusion. While national policies revoke legal status and deepen exclusion, we can respond with courage, joy, and belonging.


I’m part of Courageous Welcome, a fundraiser supporting Arboretum Coffee’s apprenticeship program for immigrant and refugee neighbors. Our goal is to raise $19,200 by World Refugee Day (June 20) to fund 8–10 apprentices with:

  • Paid apprenticeship and coffee training

  • Life skills, English, and financial education

  • Legal and mental health support

  • A community where healing, confidence, and leadership can grow

This program helps people step into new lives with dignity and support, not just with a job, but with a future.



Every $640 raised fuels a full week of support for an apprentice. Every gift helps someone say, “I belong here.”

Thank you for helping me build a more joyful and courageous welcome.
