From World Relief Durham
“World Relief Durham has entered a new phase, even before the COVID-19 crisis hit. With few arrivals, we had worked on deepening relationships with refugees already in our community. The Blacknall teams are the role models for this kind of deeper connection. Your support of families goes beyond "good neighbors" as WR parlance has it; you are brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, confidants and support systems. This latest act of radical generosity of spirit and finances in the face of a crisis that is also hitting you and your families hard shows that being the hands and feet of Christ, while difficult, is what we are here to do. Your hope has changed a hopeless situation. Your gifts have literally brought light to the darkness. You've heard a specific Mr. Rogers quote several times in recent days, I bet. Well, I found the helpers. Here you are. Thank you.”
- Susan Baldwin, volunteer coordinator at World Relief
