Chugging along

Sunday clinics have been SUPER BUSY the past few weeks!  Our typical hours are 2:30-6:30, but for two of the weeks in January we didn't get finished until 8:30.  The flu has hit folks pretty hard, but we've had lots of other random illnesses and complaints as well.  On the social work side of things, we've been handling lots of medical bills and hospital bills as usual, and helping to facilitate the process of applying for charity care.  One of the exciting things that we've been doing lately has been helping individuals apply for U.S. citizenship.  Refugees who have lived in the U.S. for at least 5 years and can speak, read, and write English well enough to take and pass the Citizenship exam are ready to become U.S. citizens.  This is an exciting process, and one that is wrapped up with a lot more joy than many of the other things we help people with at the clinic. Here are a few photos of some of our cutest visitors to the clinic this month!
