Providing direct support for families resettling as refugees in the United States.


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. Across the United States, communities are responding to increased immigration enforcement and visible ICE activity with fear, grief, and protest, especially in Minnesota, our home state of California, and other regions where families and neighbors have been directly impacted. 

We are not only seeing this in news headlines, we're hearing it directly from the families we support. Immigrant community members are reporting increased racial profiling, tied to visible and audible markers of identity: skin color, accents, names, clothing, and other signals that mark someone as "foreign" in public spaces. These markers, which are often outside someone’s control, are used to justify harassment, surveillance and terrifying escalating encounters that make everyday life feel newly dangerous and uncertain once again. But this time, it’s not in their war-torn home country. It’s here in the United States, where refuge was offered and expected.

 

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.
