Here's what LIRS is doing and where we need your help.

Dear friend,

You may have seen the announcement from the White House this morning: The U.S. will welcome up to 100,000 refugees from Ukraine.

We need to act fast to prepare to welcome as many refugees as we can. Currently, 90% of refugees from Ukraine are women and children. There is an urgent need for resources that will provide immediate services to those who arrive, including emergency medical care, temporary housing, financial support for basic necessities, and much more.

Will you make a gift today to provide a warm welcome to those fleeing the war in Ukraine? ([link removed])

As you know, LIRS was a leader in the resettlement of individuals and families from Afghanistan over the last several months. While we continue that work, we will build off our experience and expertise to welcome Ukrainian refugees with open arms. In fact, LIRS has helped to resettle one-quarter of all Ukrainian refugees who have come to the U.S. in the last decade.

As we work to prepare for another unprecedented movement of welcome, your gift will impact the lives of women, children and others fleeing the war in Ukraine. Please visit www.lirs.org/ukrainefund to make a gift today.

P.S. Thank you for your generosity. To learn more about other ways you can get involved, please visit www.lirs.org/ukraine ([link removed]) .
