Bless you for your holy work with migrants! It gives us all hope that there are things that can be done that will matter—eventually. it was good to see you at annual meeting.
Thank you, Tracy, for helping the immigrants. My prayers are with you.
Thank you for your commitment and dedication to Hispanic Ministry. You are a ray of sunshine, a beacon of hope!
With admiration and gratitude,

Thank you, Tracey! I especially appreciated the explanation of the asylum process that has been taken away. Such a grave injustice and certainly goes against everything our country should stand for.
Beautiful sharing of your lived experience with helping the stranger! Being someone of integrity and caring for those in need. If our ancestors were turned away – we wouldn’t be here today! Love you Tracey! 🧡
