'Chosen Families'

‘Chosen Families’

One of our invaluable external volunteers Casey reflects on his time working with Samos Volunteers in a blog post that is well worth a read. 

Casey has added so much to the team while he has been on Samos, whether that was in the warehouse, in our community spaces or specifically, in his great work with our LGBTQIA+ group.

Why did Casey choose to come to Samos?

‘It was the opportunity to confirm that the queer community can and does transcend racial, cultural, religious, and international boundaries. That I can be surrounded by love and hope from people who have the least incentive to be hopeful, and that my work encourages them to continue another day.’
