Dear Friend,
Today is World Refugee Day, a day that has a special significance for me. Over forty years ago, I left behind everything I knew to begin my life in a country that opened its doors to people like me. I was a refugee and I am now an American. I am one of the lucky ones.
It's also Father's Day! As a father of five, I am endlessly grateful that I was able to raise my children in this land of peace, freedom, and opportunity.
Today I ask you to make a gift to USCRI. Over the next year, we anticipate a dramatic increase in the number of refugees entering the U.S. With your help, USCRI will provide them with English classes, job training, cultural orientation, and all the building blocks of a successful new life. Thank you for caring about these new Americans.
With much gratitude,
Eskinder Negash
President and CEO
