Sometimes we learn about how we impact our families. NAC received a heartfelt letter of thanks from Nadera, a pharmacist from Afghanistan. NAC helped her family settle in the community after they escaped the turmoil in Afghanistan, and she in return has become a great friend to NAC. Her daughter (now 16) has offered two of her paintings for the last 2 Gala auctions. A third painting is hanging in our office with her story. 

Hello Mrs. Anne,
I hope this message reaches you at a wonderful moment in your life. It has been nearly four years since my family and I fled a war-torn country and sought refuge in a place where we hoped simply to survive. From the very beginning, we were welcomed by the group of residents of the beautiful city of Claremont, all with kind hearts and a strong spirit of humanity, welcomed us with remarkable warmth. They generously and selflessly supported me, my family, and other immigrants in many aspects of American life Without a doubt, all of this became possible under your excellent leadership especially through the compassionate support of the NAC organization that you were (are) the boss.

You and your colleagues helped us stand on our feet again and guided us through challenges that felt overwhelming at the start of our new life as immigrants.
On the occasion of Thanksgiving week and days , I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you, Mr. Tom, and every member of the NAC family. Your sincere concern for our well-being and your efforts to ease the difficulties we faced have meant more to us than words can express. NAC has truly been a strong advocate for immigrant families during their most difficult moments. I sincerely wish you and the entire NAC family continued success, happiness, and prosperity.

With love and warm regards.
Mrs. N
