A Group of Friends With a Shared Story
Our dedicated team consists of a group of friends who share a similar story. All of us came to the United States as immigrant children from a war-torn country with parents that had nothing but hope for a better life.
Fast forward 20 years — we are now approximately the age our parents were when they moved to Chicago. As immigrant children do, we often reflect on those days and talk about how hard it must have been for our parents to uproot their lives from their home soil and start over in a completely new country.
That right there is what drives our passion for giving back. We might disagree on a lot of topics, but one thing we all agree on is that we owe it to the less fortunate now. It is our turn to inspire hope in others, and we would love your support along the way.
