This poem about Liam is true and made me weep. Well done.

What a role model five-year-old Liam is! We must all learn to be truth-tellers .

More tears for Liam. For 2 weeks angry ones. Then Sunday, finally happy ones. Now fearful ones because our government is cruel, and our “leaders” hate filled.

“He came here to outgrow his shoes,

to learn English, to draw rainbows,

to not be afraid.”

This brought me to tears! Thank you, Public Servant, for a beautiful tribute to sweet Liam.

Very beautifully written. Thank you, Sir! I wish our app had an option for one time donations. I don't know about anyone else's situation, but I'm a disabled vet with a fixed income and two families to feed. I'd love to give something to all those like you who contribute heart wrenching truth to the masses, but ... my mortgage awaits my attention.
