Review for Grannies Respond Abuelas Responden Inc, Beacon, NY, USA
I was inspired by Grannies Respond/Abuelos Responden on their first trip to the border with the caring and compassion of the grannies and grampies. As a Board member, I hear reports of how our teams meet the buses and provide diapers, snacks, and information to traveling asylum seekers. Donations go to direct services, with very little being spent on admin -- we have no staff, just the accounting required by the state. Our volunteers spend hours staffing the "Little Shop of Kindness" that provides clothes and other items, and offering a kind and helpful presence as newcomers navigate this new land -- just as I hope others did for my ancestors when they came to the United States fleeing oppression and poverty.
