Thank you for the powerfully inspirational front-page article A Soft Place to Settle in the Monday Dispatch.
The Mocharski family is a true role model for empathy, compassion and generosity. With their own family of four children, they opened their door and their hearts to foster two children, unaccompanied minors, crossing the border for safety after their father was murdered, and now separated from their mother. The beautifully written article recounts all who helped make this a soft place to settle.
In the midst of daily alarming and frightening reports of ever-increasing violence in our streets and in the world, people like the Mocharskis, Kelly Porter, Jan Phillips and Chris and Amy Bradley, organizations like Love Without Lines, religious institutions like the Unitarian/Universalist Church remind us that it truly takes a village. We are fortunate to have a newspaper like the Dispatch that headlines stories of hope. Very needed!

SALT LAKE CITY Israel Sanchez, who is working toward a bachelor s degree in health care administration at Western Governors University, has been on a circuitous journey in higher education for nearly two decades.
A while back, he earned an associate degree from Utah State University and has dabbled in other coursework since, ranging from psychology to culinary arts to real estate. I feel like have a doctorate in randomness. I ve been working at this for so long. Then I ve taken a break a little bit and so when I first considered going back to school, I wondered how can I get a degree? I have a family now. I m 33 years old, Sanchez said during an online panel discussion Monday hosted by WGU in Salt Lake City.
