Resident Describes Immigrant Experience

Posted May 29, 2020

Longtime Rural Neighborhoods volunteer, Antonia Rios’, recently spoke about her immigrant experience with PBS station WUFT.  Rios’ Eden Park home in Immokalee was damaged by Hurricane Irma in 2017 and was among the more than 70 owner-occupied dwellings rehabbed by Rural Neighborhoods with financial assistance from the Community Foundation of Collier County and American Red Cross.  We hope this in-depth article  and the video below help readers better understand the struggles new citizens endure to build better lives for themselves and their children.
