To Whom It May Concern:

As shelter coordinator here at St. Anthony/ICM shelter, we’ve had the pleasure of working with the group Acupuncturists Without Borders on a weekly basis. Since our shelter is comprised entirely of a Vietnamese community, acupuncture is a form of healing which is deeply rooted in our culture. This group has brought relief from pain and stress for so many. Our evacuees have been through so much these past few months that this one measure of relief has been received with much gratitude by them. I bear witness to the fact that our evacuees look forward to these weekly visits. I highly recommend the services provided by Acupuncturists Without Borders and can only hope that they continue to help others in whatever capacity they can.
