Volunteers' Feedback.
I fetch items for Cristam and deliver them directly to students whenever the need arises, even at odd hours. Each trip reminds me that what may feel small to me — a ride across town with a chair, a blender, or some appliances — can mean the world to someone starting life in a new country. Volunteering with Cristam has shown me the power of showing up when it matters most.

I gave my time, my resources, and even personal items to Cristam, and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences — seeing my contribution directly bring comfort and hope to international students reminded me how powerful a single act of kindness can be.
