SAN DIEGO — When refugees first arrive in the United States, they often need help learning how to ride the bus, make a resume or even in some cases turn on the stove.
Over time, with support from community and dedicated case workers, they find jobs, get driver's licenses, buy cars, make new connections and restart their lives.
Katherine Bom, a former refugee and now executive director of RefugeeNet, a nonprofit that supports refugees, calls the change she sees in her clients a "transformation."
