Just in — the letter you want from the Dept. of Homeland Security!

July 4, 2019

Just in from Khua Uk (Burma), “Teacher Derek, look at this — it’s from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security!”

Fantastic! This has us hollering loudly! Passing the English test and the U.S. history and government test is a giant step in the U.S. citizenship process.

DHS will give final approval and then a date for the Naturalization Ceremony for the swearing of the U.S. Oath of Allegiance.

Thank you for your support and coaching of students like Khua Uk. What a wonderful way to go into Fourth of July weekend — Happy Independence Day!

The Plan
Step 1:
Can you read English and speak it clearly?
Can you smile with an adult from another culture?

Step 2:
Contact us to learn how to make a difference by encouraging adult refugee students as they learn to speak English using computer programs such as Rosetta Stone.

Step 3:
Volunteer for a 1 hour, 45 minute class per week and transform a student’s life and your own as you get to know and enrich each other!

Also during class, one of our Abounding Service leaders will initiate group conversation, teach a short lesson with vocabulary in a biblical context, and ask questions from the U.S. citizenship test.

Help Refugees with my Tax Credit
Arizona taxes sure aren’t a joy to pay.

But it’s a real joy to help refugees connect and contribute!

Problem solved! Did you know Arizona law allows YOU to choose where your tax dollars go to help those in need in our state?

Thanks to the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, you can donate up to $800 and get it right back on your Arizona tax return.

Increase your refund or reduce the amount you owe by the same amount you donated to Abounding Service, up to $800 for couples filing jointly or $400 for singles.

Watch the video to see how this incredible state program works for YOU while you help refugees connect and contribute!

Follow these three simple steps:

1. Donate (up to $800 for couples filing jointly or $400 for singles) to Abounding Service on or before May 17, 2021. (Same day tax returns are due)

2. Use your electronic or paper receipt as proof of donation when filing your 2020 Arizona state taxes.

3. Claim the Arizona state tax credit when you file — and increase your refund or reduce what you owe by the exact amount you donated. (Use AZ Form 321. Our QCO code is 21983.)

It’s easy. Donate to help refugees now — get it back later!

Adding to the support, Abounding Service was chosen for a third year in a row to be a part of IMPACT AZ, where every tax credit gift helps us win additional grant funding! Please consider donating today!
