Almost here!


A week from today Rakeb will board an airplane for the first time in her life! 30 hours later she will arrive in Denver, and a new chapter of her life will begin. Thanks to an outpouring of generous donations, she will arrive to a room filled with school supplies, gift cards, and other items that will help tremendously as she adjusts to living in the United States. THANK YOU!

Rakeb’s summer has already been full of experiences! The two that stand out the most are…

1)   Moving into their new home. It is a much larger and newer space than their previous home, but much further away from their family and friends.

2)   After 4 years away, Rakeb’s father returned to Ethiopia to visit his family! He will be there until Rakeb departs, and this time has been invaluable for Rakeb.

We can’t wait to begin sharing more photos and stories of her experience in the U.S.! Rakeb is SOOOOO excited to meet you all!
