Mr. Limberis first heard about Safe Passage about three years ago from a law school classmate, who told him about  and all that Safe Passage was doing on behalf of immigrant children living in New York  City. Following that conversation, Mr. Limberis knew that he had to be part of the team.

Mr. Limberis says his experience working with Safe Passage has been “ absolutely amazing”.
