“Me, my mom, and sisters were residents at AWUM. What I like about here was that it was welcoming, fun, the people were nice and the staff were generous. They helped us with making ourselves comfortable and organize transportation for me and my sisters to go to school. Being at the House of Peace shelter also introduced me to new foods that I’ve never tried before. I enjoyed Hmong hot sauce with chili peppers.”
