vulnerable families today.

Dear Gail,

If you fled violent gangs, rode dangerous trains, and walked for
miles in search of safety, only to end up caged and separated from
your family, you might wonder if America is still a place of hope and
sanctuary.

But we still believe that America is that place - a beacon of
light for those seeking refuge. And we think you do, too.

Stand with Refugees and Asylum Seekers

That's why today, on Giving Tuesday, we're asking you to stand with
refugee and asylum-seeking families by making a generous gift to LIRS.

Please help us raise $50,000 today to help families, like Mrs. Valdez
and her children. If she were to stay in El Salvador, her son would
have been killed if he didn't join a violent gang.

What would you do? I can tell you what Mrs. Valdez did. She took her
children and made the dangerous trip to America.

But it wasn't without cost. On the train, there was an accident and
Mrs. Valdez's daughter lost some of her fingers. Her older brother
wrapped her hand in his shirt, desperate to stop the bleeding.

They reached America and the little girl was taken to the hospital.
And thanks to people like you, LIRS was there for them.

Because of our supporters, we put the family up in a hotel while the
little girl received medical care. When she was released, we helped
them to be reunited with their father.

Make A Giving Tuesday Gift

This Giving Tuesday, families like the Valdezes desperately need your
help. And we need to raise $50,000 to continue to help refugees and
asylum seekers who risked life and limb to get here.

Please act now by making a generous gift to LIRS and help us meet our
critical $50,000 goal. With your support, we will continue welcoming
courageous families searching for a better life for their families.
