Thank You Thursday- Host Mom to Teera from Jordan

Aspect Foundation’s inbox is flooded with notes of gratitude for all who participate in cultural youth exchange. Today, Nicole, one of our loving host moms in Michigan, tagged us in a beautiful post on Instagram about Teera, the Jordan student she’s currently hosting that we’d like to share with everyone! Sometimes all it takes is a loving gesture in a difficult moment to truly become family.

“And just like that… 298 days have passed. I was so excited to host and have an impact on someone else. I didn’t realize the impact she would have on me, too. This sweet girl and I shared so much with each other that I can’t imagine either one of us will ever be the same. Just when I thought I knew her, Teera would surprise me with her kindness and heart. I’m so proud to know this girl and excited to see what she does in the future. I know she will make me proud every step of the way, just as she has here. Love you.” – Nicole
