Dear Friend,

What if your family was threatened because of your political affiliation? Or your home was searched and you had to hide? Or you were refused drinking water and gas for cooking?

These are just a few reasons why families seek asylum in the U.S. from Venezuela, where all of this and more is happening every day. With your support, LIRS welcomes them with open arms.

Giving Tuesday is next week, and it’s a day when we come together and support the causes and people we care about. This year, you can DOUBLE your life-changing support for asylum seekers, immigrants, and refugees by making a gift to LIRS.

(You don’t have to wait until Tuesday— you can donate today and get the match!)

Your 2X matched donation will . . .

. . . help newcomers with immediate and basic needs like clothes, food, and shelter.

. . . reunify families — including children and parents separated at the border.

. . . support foster care for unaccompanied children.

. . . enable our Long Welcome — long-term support for newly arrived families.

. . . teach language skills and provide education, community, and career resources.

Now’s the time to invest in our critical work. So, if you’re able, please make a gift — any amount helps — especially when your impact can be doubled with our 2X match.

Sincerely,

Andrew G. Steele
Vice President for Development and Mobilization

P.S. This Giving Tuesday, make a generous, 2X matched gift and support families searching for a better life.
