Baby Shower Sponsored by WMU
WMU would like to invite you to help this young couple.
Aarti and Rakash Gupta are from India. They want a better life than they can have in India.
Rakash is working for Leo and Sandra James’ corporation.
They are living in the corporation’s student housing and have no transportation.
Aarti speaks limited English but Rakash speaks very good English.
They said they have nothing for the new baby. Let’s help them to get ready.
