For Leon, hope is not an abstract idea—it’s rooted in the real-life stories of resilience, love, and human connection. In his latest reflection, he introduces us to a remarkable refugee family that has quietly and powerfully impacted their community. Despite facing language barriers, cultural shifts, and the trauma of displacement, they have embraced their new life with grace, generosity, and joy.
This family doesn’t just live in their new home—they actively build it every day. Through kindness, through service, and through the way they raise their children to love and give, they show us what true strength looks like. They remind us that being hopeful isn’t about ignoring hardship. It’s about choosing to believe in goodness even when life is hard.
Leon’s story is more than just a tribute—it’s a call to recognize the everyday heroes among us. It’s an invitation to engage with one another with empathy and purpose.
As Leon beautifully reminds us, love is a verb—something we do, something we live out through action, compassion, and commitment to one another.
