<p>In today’s episode we’re going back in the archives to listen in on our REACTsponsors Program Director, Erin Howe, sitting down with REACT DC’s CEO, Amy Marden, and 4 of our past and present Sponsors, Kim and Steve Schaffer, Domi Long, and Brooke Cutler during their Roundtable Discussion back in September about all things sponsorship.</p> <p>Kim and Steve Schaffer are part of the Socorro Friends Sponsor Circle. They are a team of 4 couples plus one singleton. Their circle started in November of 2021 and their newcomer family arrived in February of 2022. There were 5 children and a 6th was born in October. All school-aged children attended school and became near and dear to the community, playing soccer and joining in on community events. Two of the children had significant disabilities that required numerous doctor and therapy appointments that the team assisted with. The father found a job washing dishes in April and his crew loved him. Both parents worked with community volunteers to learn English and guidance on life in the USA. The family moved to Dallas in October to be near family and they are missed by the entire Socorro Friends Sponsor Circle Team.</p> <p>Domi Long is an educator from Silver Spring, Maryland. Her work with organizations providing services for Afghan evacuees introduced her to the unprecedented need for support for these newcomers. She is grateful to have learned of the Sponsor Circles program and to have had the opportunity to work with friends and neighbors to help an Afghan family settle in her community.</p> <p>Brooke Cutler is a stay at home mother of six children, and her husband, Spencer, is a biomedical engineer. They have both lived overseas multiple times and met many refugees in need of a place to call home, so when they heard of the sponsor circle program, they knew that sponsoring a refugee family was something their family wanted to do. They feel so blessed to have these Ukrainian families as a part of their lives.</p> <p>If you’ve ever wondered what it was like to sponsor an Afghan or Ukrainian refugee or family, what steps it takes, and what it looks like in real life for real people like YOU, you cannot miss this conversation! The unedited roundtable discussion is also available for viewing on our <a href="https://youtu.be/m7gakSAqq5Y" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a>.</p> <p>REACT DC currently has nearly 14+ Ukrainian Sponsor Circles, with ongoing efforts to recruit & hand-match 100 circles to Ukrainians in need by the end of 2022. With a best in class in class Sponsorship Program & a track record of 60+ past & present Sponsor Circles since January 2022, REACTsponsors will be by your side throughout the sponsorship experience.</p> <p>Interested in joining the Welcome Movement & becoming a Sponsor?

<p>Today is GivingTuesday, a day where millions of people all around the world use their power of radical generosity to change the world. They volunteer at homeless shelters, organize food drives, fill their community fridges, donate to mutual aid funds, spread messages of solidarity and hope.</p> <p>What is Radical Generosity? While many call on philanthropists, policymakers and grantmakers to repair broken systems, GivingTuesday recognizes that we each can drive an enormous amount of positive change by rooting our everyday actions, decisions and behavior in radical generosity—the concept that the suffering of others should be as intolerable to us as our own suffering. Radical generosity invites people in to give what they can to create systemic change.</p> <p>GivingTuesday has been built by a broad coalition of partners, including individuals, families, nonprofits, schools, religious organizations, small businesses and corporations. There are people and organizations participating in GivingTuesday in every country in the world.</p> <p>Participating in GivingTuesday is about joining a movement for generosity, and there are so many ways to do that. Whether you give your voice, goods, your time, or your money, being generous is a way to fight for the causes you care about and help people in need.</p> <p>On this Giving Tuesday, help REACT DC help Refugees.</p> <p>You can Sponsor a Refugee Family through REACTsponsors by going to <a href="//www.reactdc.org/reactsponsors" target="_blank">www.reactdc.org/reactsponsors</a> or emailing reactsponsors@reactdc.org.</p> <p>You can Mentor or Hire a Refugee through our REACTworks Career Pathway Platform by going to <a href="//www.reactworks.org" target="_blank">www.reactworks.org</a> or emailing info@reactworks.org.</p> <p>And you can Advocate for Refugees by Volunteering your time with REACT DC and our many partner organizations by filling out the Volunteer Form on our website at <a href="//www.reactdc.org/donate" target="_blank">www.reactdc.org/donate</a>.</p> <p>You can Give to Refugee Organizations like REACT DC by going to <a href="//www.reactdc.org/donate" target="_blank">www.reactdc.org/donate</a> and donating at our DonorBox link.</p> <p>There are so many different ways to show generosity on GivingTuesday. This year, please consider supporting REACT DC so that we can continue to work with newcomers on the ground level to enable them on a path to self-reliance and integration into their new lives in America.</p> <p>To learn more about the origins of Giving Tuesday, go to <a href="http://www.givingtuesday.org/" target="_blank"><u>www.givingtuesday.org</u></a>.
