2018 Host Family of the Year Finalist
The Schwartz family, a host family in Maryland
My host family respects me, treats me well, makes me happy and especially makes me feel at home, makes me feel like family. There are so many stories and so many moments. One story is that they are Jewish, that is, they do not celebrate Christmas, but I am Christian and for me Christmas is a very important date, out of respect for my religion, they are planning to make a Christmas dinner because it’s an important holiday for me and they want to be a part of it. My eyes fill with tears at the thought of it, how amazing they are and how good they make me feel.
