Littleton Immigrants’ Own Stories

  “I want to thank everyone from LI3 who helped my family to settle in Littleton. Coming to a new country is like suddenly being blind. How do we know what to do? Where do we go? Who will lead us? We were so lucky to have a team of people who helped us to find our way and to finally live in peace.”

~ Raad Kurdi

“When Raad Kurdi and his family were brought to our attention three years ago, it provided us a broader picture of the “real” world experienced by many people in faraway places today. Hearing a person describe how they fled their native land for fear of their lives certainly captured our attention. We were pleased to make a small contribution to Raad and his family and hope that it has continued to be a successful transition. Early reports were that Raad was establishing himself as a hard worker at a local car dealership. His wife was walking to classes daily to acquire the English language and the kids were adapting, as kids do, more easily with their daily interactions at school and in the community.”
