Congratulations to all of our West New York students on completing another academic year!

It was a joy to celebrate your hard work, growth, and achievements at our recent graduation ceremony on June 3rd. We are so proud of all that you have accomplished and the dedication you showed throughout the year.

A special thank you to our incredible volunteer teachers and helpers. Your time, encouragement, and commitment make these celebrations, and our program as a whole, possible!

We're incredibly grateful to...

💚 Pastor Paul Flores for his encouraging message at our West New York site's graduation on June 3. Paul Alexis Flores We love you!

💚 Hoboken Grace for warmly welcoming us and hosting our graduation in such a beautiful space. Thank you for your great team!!

💚 and Nazareth Baptist Church for hosting our ESL classes semester after semester. Your kindness and generosity are so deeply appreciated. What would we do without you? God bless you!!

Thank you, Redeemer West Side, for a wonderful evening! We truly felt loved on by your team.

On May 20, Redeemer W83 hosted our two Manhattan sites (East Harlem and Upper West Side) for a delicious Appreciation Dinner and meaningful conversation. Volunteer teachers, students, family of students, Open Door staff, and a W83 team all mingled together for a really unique and special time!

Wishing everyone a safe Memorial Day weekend as we enjoy the freedom won by the sacrifice of many. Thank you to all the individuals and families who gave their lives for our beautiful country.

Can you believe it? With less than one month left in the semester, we are STILL welcoming in new students who are eager to join classes and learn English. There is great need, and every dollar that you contribute makes real change in real lives!

Would you consider giving a gift today? Your support will help us meet our goal so that more students can receive free English education and be welcomed into a warm community.

Peter Wehner, keynote speaker at our Spring Benefit last Wednesday, says to our supporters:

"Thank you for allowing this ministry, this good work, this life-changing and life-giving work, to go on. The students who will sit in classrooms next month because of [you] — they may not all know your names. But God does. And the lives that will be different because of what you do — those lives are real, and they are precious, and they bear witness to what you have made possible."

We're so close to reaching our Spring goal of raising $150,000! Will you help us cross the finish line? Every dollar you contribute makes a lasting impact on the lives we care so deeply about.
