Right Now the people who really deserve credit are the people who work for Travelers Aid Atlanta. You vaguely see their booth in the airport, but I think most people know nothing about them. Travelers Aid is over a century old but perhaps has not faced a greater challenge than the current one.

By some estimates, over 20,000 people are immigrating to Atlanta right now. Many of these folks have lost everything. Travelers Aid helps them get situated, get basic supplies, access to health care, and all they need to make a new start.

Yoeman’s work they do.

If your organization can supply something of use (500 electric shavers, dozens of passes to the zoo, help locating educare services so people can work, etc) call them at 404.817.7070.

Make a difference!
