 Mission Moment
I was able to fully enjoy my time in Jordan, whether I was participating in my refugee advocacy efforts here, or enjoying traveling along Jordan's beautiful and diverse landscape, without worrying about my health, and that is truly thanks to your BREATH program. Thank you so much for your continued help!
