African refugee family makes the most of new life in Tucson

From Arizona-

Community has been key for Ajang’s family.

“When we came here, we joined a community of believers from Grace St. Paul’s Episcopal Church,” Anyieth says. “They were so helpful to us in so many different ways — prayers, finances and love. They loved us.”

Through the church, the family met friends such as Miksa. Miksa helped them shop for a car and care for their new son, who had surgery in 2014 and a feeding tube for six months. In recent months, Miksa has helped Ajang research what it takes to start a business in Arizona.

It’s nothing like owning that restaurant in Kenya, Ajang says. In Africa, they didn’t have to pay taxes or lease the property. They built the restaurant and pocketed the profits.
