A Somali family of nine is hoping for a fresh start and will now call Kansas City home.

President Trump’s immigration and travel ban delayed their trip, but because the ban is on hold, they were able to travel to Kansas City on Wednesday night.

“I’m just falling to my knees in gratitude to God that they are here and they are here safe just as we had hoped and just as they had hoped,” said Judy Akers, executive vice president of Della Lamb.

Della Lamb is working to resettle refugees in the area and is providing a home for the family.
