LIRS Supporter, your generosity to LIRS makes a tremendous difference in the lives of refugees and immigrants. From meeting the ongoing needs at our southern border, connecting immigrants to critical resources, and caring for Afghan refugees and their families, your gifts go a long way to welcoming newcomers to the U.S.

This includes Mohammad*, who feared lethal retaliation from the Taliban and made a harrowing escape from Afghanistan. When he arrived in the U.S., he sought help at an LIRS affiliate office.

I’d love for you to hear Mohammad’s powerful story in his own words by watching Journey to Safety: A Story of a Newly Arrived Afghan Neighbor. >>>

When Mohammad entered our doors, he had nothing but the clothes on his back. He was warmly welcomed, given fresh clothes and essentials, and provided a hotel room until he could find permanent housing.

"That’s why I want to come and help here as you did for me. It is the best way to help others rather than yourself—because we are human beings. We need to help others. Helping others is a part of our culture." — Mohammad

Watch Journey to Safety Here >>>

Mohammad was so deeply moved by the hospitality of the staff and volunteers that he vowed to return soon—next time, as a volunteer.

It’s easy to see how your support can help so many newcomers — like Mohammad — find their footing here in the U.S. so they can continue their journey to safety, and now, with real hope.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity. It’s making a real difference in the lives of immigrants and refugees.

With sincere gratitude,

Krish O’Mara Vignarajah
President and CEO
