Summary: Many refugees have fled violence and war, been "housed" in a crowded refugee camp, and then leave behind whatever little support system they have had to come to America, where they face a new language, new systems, new expectations of them, new challenges. Having friends to "walk along side them" makes something as "simple" as filling out an application (in a new language) and negotiating other common tasks of daily living in a new culture and society much more manageable. Nashville’s Neighbors can help.
