Verandah Porche : My Birthday Wish: Pitch in for Poetry and Protection

Treasured Friends & Strangers, With his kind donation, my young friend John Wesley wrote, " As you taught us, 'Poetry knows no borders … and takes no orders.'" With this inspiration, through your generosity, I have increased my goal to an astonishing amount: $6000. Now I am now raising my hopes, and turning to more of you for assistance. This weekend I turned 80. Your gift supports my creation of 30 poems during November to fund the Center for New Americans. I will deliver this work in any way you wish.

Center for New Americans has been welcoming and serving immigrants in Western Massachusetts since 1992. We teach free classes in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), digital literacy, civics, U.S. culture. We offer support services including connections to community resources and assistance finding employment. We also offer some immigration legal services, including assistance applying and preparing for U.S. citizenship, assistance with employment authorization and family petitions, and some humanitarian assistance. We rely on a small, dedicated staff, an engaged board of directors, generous volunteers and supporters, and public and private funding. 30 Poems in November! is one of our most important fundraisers every year.
