The past year has been tough. I could go on forever talking about the pandemic and how it affected my life and those surrounding me. Sometime last year, I made the difficult decision to go on a 2,193.1 mile hike. I will be thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. I am hiking to raise funds for the undocumented communities in the DC, Maryland and Virginia area. These are communities that I am a part of that never received unemployment benefits and stimulus payments. It is hard enough living in the USA as an immigrant (before the pandemic) and CASA has made my family’s life a little easier. They assist families with legal services, health services, adult education, citizenship and more. I hope that the funds are able to help more families in my community. Undocumented people are humans and deserve the same human rights as other people.
I may leave some updates on here when I get service on the trail.
