I'm turning 30 in October. Instead of gifts, cards, messages or a party, please donate to Refugee Action York so that newcomers to the city can feel as welcome and loved as I do living here.

I spent this summer working with a group of refugees to help them learn English. They were the most charming and friendly group of people, and they deserve our support.

Please donate as much or as little as you can to help RAY carry on their important work in York. It would make my 30th birthday feel all the more special knowing that refugees in York are being supported.

Thank you.
