Hi! I'm raising funds for NICE, the Nashville International Center for Empowerment, and their work serving refugees & immigrants in Middle Tennessee.
In 2021 I was sitting in my living room scrolling through the news and feeling overwhelmed by the tragedy unfolding in Afghanistan. I decided that my "armchair activism" was not helping anyone, so I spent some time looking for organizations that were part of a solution. NICE is one of those organizations. Since 2005 it has been providing a safe place to land for those fleeing war and violence. Through education & literacy programs, workforce development, employment assistance, healthcare navigation and other social services, NICE helps newcomers reach safety, stability, & self-sufficiency.
I have been a part of NICE's staff for almost 3 years, and it has been the best place I have ever worked. My co-workers and the clients we serve are inspiring, hard-working and incredibly resilient. As an organization, we represent 40 different languages and have staff from all around the world. I'm thrilled to be a part of an organization that celebrates all of the cultures that make Nashville a great place to live.
NICE's mission is to empower refugees & immigrants with resources & opportunities, so they can reach their full potential now and thrive for generations to come.
I want to invite you to partner in our mission and help us sustain our programs for the immigrant community! My birthday is April 28th, and I would be honored if you would consider donating in honor of my birthday!
