MEET OUR NEIGHBOR, ABRAHAM

After a year of back and forth communication and confusing logistics, our Elevate Connections staff were able to help our friend and neighbor Abraham receive his passport and other important identification documents so that he can finally travel back home to Jamaica to be with his mother while she’s sick. Abraham’s belongings were stolen a while back, leaving him without the documentation he needed to reach his potential in our community – not to mention leaving him without the ability to go home. Can you imagine being stuck, with no direction or understanding of how to navigate the confusing maze of paperwork, documentation, phone calls and other logistics needed to secure your own identification certificates? Unfortunately, this is relatively common for individuals in our community. Thanks to our Elevate Connections team and Abraham’s patience and determination, Abraham can take next steps and finally be reunited with his mother in his home country.
