Hello, I'm Alyssa Tsagong with PBS Wisconsin Education.
Wisconsin has recently welcomed many families
from countries like Afghanistan and Ukraine,
including young people
who are beginning new and unexpected lives here.
PBS Wisconsin serves all kids
and today, we're inviting you
to help us welcome these new neighbors.
Since the summer of 2022,
we've worked in partnership with refugee services
to provide hundreds of children
with PBS Kids books, backpacks, and comfort items
to help ease their transition to a new home
and set them up for success at school.
We call it the "Welcome Neighbors Project"
and you can keep it going strong.
Make an ongoing gift of $20 per month,
and choose to dedicate a portion of your donation
to the Welcome Neighbors Project.
Your gift will support our team
and cover the cost
of providing a PBS Kids care package
for a child arriving in Wisconsin as a refugee.
Thank you for watching and supporting PBS Wisconsin,
a service that's all about
expanding horizons, seeing new perspectives,
and as Mister Rogers taught us,
being good neighbors.
Call us now or visit online.
Thank you.
