Hello, I am a poet and therapist. Thank you for joining me on this poetic journey to support the Center for New Americans, an organization that provides essential services and a warm welcome to immigrants, refugees, and all new community members in Western Massachusetts. In November, I will be writing one poem each day, inspired by the themes of resilience, belonging, hope, beauty, courage and the power of community.
Your support, whether through donations or simply sharing this campaign, will help provide language classes, job training, legal support, and other vital resources to those who are building new lives here. Together, we can uplift and empower our new neighbors, ensuring they feel truly at home.
Every word, every dollar, every gesture of kindness counts. Let's build a more inclusive, compassionate community—one poem at a time.
With gratitude,
Kara Joseph
