Support Resettling Refugee Families

At Miry’s List, we believe that welcoming newcomers to the USA is not just an act of kindness, it’s a commitment to building a stronger, more connected community. Your support is vital in ensuring that resettling families have the resources they need as they settle into their new homes. 

Ramadan is a time of reflection, togetherness, and generosity. For many families in our program, this sacred month takes on new meaning as they celebrate their first Ramadan in the United States—far from home and without familiar support systems.

The need has never been more urgent. Refugee families arriving today face unprecedented challenges. The Federal government has dramatically reduced funding for refugee resettlement programs, leaving the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) as the only remaining pathway for Afghan allies and their families. This means fewer caseworkers, reduced welcome funds for rent deposits, and minimal support for essentials that families desperately need to rebuild their lives.

At Miry's List, we witness this reality daily and you can help us fill the gap where government support has come to a standstill.

Your contribution provides:

• Welcome kits with hand-written welcome letters, baby essentials, clothing and more
• Essential household items for families, including: beds, bedding, hygiene products, cleaning supplies, and clothing and baby supplies
• Community connections that help new arrivals feel welcomed and supported

In the spirit of Ramadan, join us in embodying the values of generosity and community. Together, we can ensure no refugee family navigates this journey alone. Give today and make an immediate difference for families celebrating Ramadan in their new home.
