The community rallied around us. They embraced us and we heard from neighbors. We heard from family friends. We also heard from people we hadn’t spoken to in years.

Do you need us to run some errands?” So, the community really embraced us and that to me is, when I think about why I feel so proud and so privileged to be an American… it's what makes America great, what makes America a superpower.
