Allagash is proud to partner with In Her Presence. The work they are doing in the community- serving immigrant women with young children, a segment of the population that could otherwise be missed- is important, effective, and inspiring. Through English language acquisition skills, job coaching, and assistance with securing basic supplies and services, IHP is a critical resource to help families navigate in a new country, climate, and life.

My experience finding my job was not easy because I don't speak English well. And In Her Presence helped encourage me. Helped me take away the fear and found a job for me, I'm grateful.

Organizations like 'In Her Presence' are helping immigrants prepare for jobs at companies, like Hannaford, across Maine. We're proud to be partnering with - and learning from - extraordinary people who are gracious enough to share their history and traditions with us.

In Her Presence is my family. Before, I often felt lonely in America, but since I met In Her Presence, I have been welcomed into a true family. I am no longer alone, and I feel secure knowing that if ever I face something I cannot overcome, I have a family to turn to – a family full of compassion that will come to my aid immediately, wholeheartedly.

In Her Presence supported me morally and helped me practically: It taught me the systems and the style of living in the U.S. It helped me learn and improve my English language. Through 5 years of experience with IHP I see and believe, it is the best place to start your new life as an immigrant, to be successful and to reach your goals and dreams.

I’m grateful for all the help and care I was given when my baby was sick in the NICU. I felt loved and safe.
