Dear Friends, colleagues and community,

I am reaching out to you with a request to support our dear family Jauregui-Dhainaut who must return to Chile after 14 years in the U.S. With great appreciation and gratitude, I value every moment shared with Amelia, Marai, Pascal, Javier and Dominique. Now that we so much need community, warmth, love and solidarity, may this be our response to what we all feel as a great loss for our community. I hope we can continue kindling hope and kindness in our hearts and be the supportive family that can help our dear friends get through to a new phase. May we, in solidarity, weave a bridge out of our feelings of gratitude, where they can step in confidence, reassured by a universal sense of humanity; that which has been living so powerfully through their presence in our lives.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our friends in this transition.

With gratitude and warm regards,
