Becoming a United States citizen can be a challenge for many immigrants that come from all over the world. This summer of 2022 we have the wonderful story of a Peruvian immigrant living in Woodland Park who arrived in the late 2000s with her daughter in search of a brighter future. Ms. S’s journey to the United States was not easy, as she faced several difficulties and challenges. One of the numerous difficulties she experienced was the language barrier; her inability to communicate in English made it hard for her to get a job. Her determination and tenacity to provide her family with a better life pushed her forward throughout the years. She eventually came upon our organization, New Destiny, where she learned about our programs, activities, and the other services we offer. Ms. S came into our office in the fall of 2021, seeking assistance with the naturalization process. A member of the New Destiny FSC team was more than willing to assist her with the application process. She provided all the required documents and was able to begin the application right away. She was terrified and anxious, since she had gone to many agencies, and no one could assist her without charging her an exorbitant fee. She was relieved when she discovered that the service was free! On May 27th, 2022, Ms. S contacted our New Destiny staff member who had assisted her to inform her that she had officially become a naturalized citizen of the United States of America. Ms. S was extremely thankful for the support and assistance she received throughout her case. New Destiny continues to serve individuals and families by providing a variety of services to help them feel at ease and will supporting them in achieving their goals. We congratulations Ms. S, on officially becoming a naturalized citizen of the United States of America! Our New Destiny doors will always be open for individuals who want to be helped, succeed, and achieve their goals. New Destiny FSC continues to make an impact in the lives of our community members.
