Edras’ Story
"Hello, my name is Edras. I am very grateful to the Mountain Dreamers organization, which did not hesitate to help me by providing me with a grant that I needed so that the lawyers could start working on our case as my son and I hope to find a better and safer life in Colorado. I am very grateful to this organization for everything they did for my son and by helping us with the financial assistance we needed so desperately, thank you very much Mountain Dreamers."
