Hi! Thank you for visiting my Center for New Americans fundraiser page.I'm writing a poem a day in November, in order to support CNA.(cnam.org)CNA helps newcomers to the US learn English, receive legal services and resources in their new homes.
Please consider helping support CNA with a donation that's in your $ comfort zone. Doing so will inspire me to write a poem a day in November!
This campaign is important to me because in 1986, I was a single mother with few resources. Navigating social services and accessing legal, educational and career resources was daunting, to say the least, for an English-speaking white person with a home and transportation. I toughed it out and changed my life. I can't imagine how tough it must be to be a newcomer to the U.S. these days.
I'll be posting a poem on this page daily.
11/28 and 11/29
Woodstove
Flames on winter night
Husband shuffles in with wood
To fill the stove, again
Trees
December trees stand
Tall, resolute, on the hill
Soon going indoors.
