For the past ten months, I have been tirelessly assisting and providing support as a lead volunteer across the City of Chicago welcoming thousands of asylum-seekers. I have led efforts in various police stations, helped with endless logistics, pivoted to providing shelter support once stations fully shut down, been a part of the many initiatives led by our extraordinary mutual aid volunteer force, assist with the landing zone where thousands of migrants have arrived mainly via texas drivers recklessly dropping off, and striving every single day to empower our new neighbors by helping provide permanent housing opportunities among many other resources that will help them thrive in our city. ๐๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ, ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ซ๐. ๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐ฏ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐๐๐ซ, ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ก ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ก๐๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ก๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ก ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐๐ณ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐จ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ง ๐ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ-๐ซ๐ฎ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฌ๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ ๐๐, ๐๐๐๐.
Today, I write to ask for your generosity so that I may continue to support Jean Carlosโ family, whom I have been directly in touch with and Iโm deeply honored to have their trust. I pledge to continue providing them with the best available resources they so deserve to begin their healing process in this new unimaginable reality. Iโm grateful to my fellow volunteers and organizations who have joined the efforts and together weโre committed to making a difference in the lives of the hundreds of new neighbors our city has received. They are here and they need to be empowered with the proper tools and resources in order to thrive and be a part of the strong community Chicago is capable of being. With a grateful heart to all supporters and a genuine desire to see us do better, yours truly, Claudia Strong.
