New Hmong would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the individuals and organizations who generously sponsored tickets for our elders to attend Lee Lue The Musical, a production inspired by the experiences of the Hmong people during the Secret War in Laos and a history marked by war, sacrifice, loss, displacement, survival, and incredible resilience.
For many of the elders we serve, this is not simply a story from history. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱.
Many experienced the war firsthand. They survived it, escaped it, left behind everything they knew, and eventually rebuilt their lives here in America from the ground up, all with the hope of giving their children and future generations a safer and better life.
For some of our elders, it was their first time seeing a musical, sitting in a theater, then seeing pieces of their lived experiences represented on stage was deeply emotional. They shared that parts of the musical were triggering, bringing back painful memories, but that the experience was also healing. Through their reflections, one message stood out: despite everything they endured, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗳 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲.
At NEW HMong, our work with elders goes beyond providing programs and services. It is about supporting their overall well-being, creating meaningful connections, preserving their stories, and reminding them that 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗜𝗥 𝗦𝗔𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗘𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗚𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗨𝗡𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘𝗗.
We want our elders to look at the generations who came after them and know that their sacrifices mattered. Their strength and resilience helped make the lives we have today possible. The opportunities we have, the communities we are building, and the ability to preserve and share our stories are part of the legacy they created.
𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱.
𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱.
𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗸𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴.
And for that, 𝗪𝗘 𝗢𝗪𝗘 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗘𝗟𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗗𝗘𝗘𝗣𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗘.
This experience holds an additional special connection for our NEW Hmong family. Our Community Program Coordinator, Rasami Moua portrays Jou's Mom in the production, while her son, Kyu San Juan, portrays Lee Lue's student and child soldier.
None of this would have been possible without those who stepped forward to help our elders experience this important production.
