In 2007 Meirgani and his growing family moved to Maine. He is manages a local group home and has worked two jobs to support his family, both here and abroad, ever since he arrived.
Meirgani talks about the value of Portland Community Squash to his family. He appreciates the door-to-door support which enables his children to benefit from the academic and athletic lessons as well as the on-going mentorship offered to every family in the program that serves Portland students 6th-12th grades.
