I don't think I did but I'm not sure. I wanted to let you know that we have a large influx of immigrants in the greater boston area and face some of the same issues. If you're still working on this and mean to expand the story beyond New York, I can provide the contact information of our Fenway Program coodinator. This particular program is often at risk of losing its funding.
