Our Inspiration
Everyone has a story to tell about their transition into their second home as immigrants, and so do we! The United States is the dreamland for nearly every individual because of the abundant opportunities that the United States has to offer to lead a quality life. However, adapting to a new environment is not easy, especially if you have a language barrier precluding you from assimilating into the new community. We have personally seen our friends and families facing transitional crises trying to adapt to the new environment in the United States. They were having a hard time trying to enroll their children in the school just because they were not able to communicate in English! They did not have health insurance because they could not fill up the form. They had great working skills, yet were unemployed, because of lack of communication skills. We have helped many such friends and families in getting the benefits that the United States has to offer. But, soon we realized that such crises were occurring not only within our circle but in the community at large! The United States is the land of immigrants, and thousands of immigrants need assistance in the transition. This inspired us to be committed to serving our community so that the people could live their life to the fullest.
