Our work with Syrian refugee families needs your support!
We are now serving 32 families, many with children. Highlights from May:
- 13+ children aged 0-4 enrolled in early childhood education programs
- Families attending English classes and orientations to US culture
- 20 persons assisted with job placement
- FIRM’s 4 part-time case workers made over 190 visits to families
Right now, we are struggling with not having the financial resources to help our families. They need:
- help with deposits for apartments and utilities — since they have no credit history
- help with diapers and toiletries
- help with bills — especially with bills from their immigration process, where they paid per family member to get transportation and immigration arranged
- help with green card physicals — special (and expensive) physicals that are required in the process of applying for resident alien status.
Please help as you are able in this work of helping our new neighbors get on their feet and become productive members of our town and nation.
AND, please share this giving request with friends and family, your church and other organizations who might be willing to support these new Americans. You can share this post with your social media friends with this link: https://firminc.org/syrian-work-needs-support/
