Back in February, Spokeo took\u00a0a\u00a0stand for American values<\/a>\u00a0and on behalf of families\u00a0that come to this country seeking refuge. It was then that we were so honored to begin our partnership with an\u00a0organization focused on helping refugees of all backgrounds, TIYYA. Since February, we\u2019ve continued to connect\u00a0with TIYYA, getting to know their great programs. When we learned about their need for laptops for their tutoring program, we were on it! Since then, we\u2019ve worked on collecting the laptops no longer in use in our office.<\/p>\n

Last week, we were absolutely\u00a0honored to be able to deliver 18 laptops for families at TIYYA Foundation\u2019s Back to School Reception. \u00a0At the event, TIYYA welcomed attendees with delicious snacks representing the different cultural regions of the TIYYA families attending. Spokeo\u2019s CEO, Harrison, and several Spokeo employees had the privilege of meeting and getting to know the parents and children receiving support from TIYYA. The experience was poignant, and inspiring.<\/p>\n

Tiyya shared some of the families\u2019 harrowing stories of escape and their journey to the United States. Harrison, then, shared his own story of immigrating to this country. He shared his difficulties in the transition of initially arriving to America, but also the joys and prosperities that are the opportunity of all Americans, be they born here, or newly arrived.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0ended the night by handing over the\u00a0laptops to the children of the TIYYA families, to assist in their school work, and to help make this transition to American life a little easier. We left this event absolutely inspired by these brave families and proud to be able to support them with access to technology. We can\u2019t wait for updates from them on how they do in school (hopefully a few choose careers in technology!).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to learn more about TIYYA and how you can support their work visit www.TIYYA.org. Currently they\u2019re in need of an additional fifty backpacks for their \u201cBack To School Celebration\u201d in August!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
