This is what community means. 💛

Read the incredible story of a Texan family who welcomed their new Afghan neighbors to stay with them after they arrived in the U.S. A huge thanks to our partners at @RST_Texas & @Airbnb for helping to make this happen!

Many people with a serious illness need to travel for care, but can't afford the cost of temporary housing. So today, we're expanding Open Homes for hosts to list their homes for free to those traveling for medical needs. https://t.co/8Ypk2AC0uE
