Today, during the worst refugee crisis in recent history, we are grateful to you for welcoming refugees fleeing war, terror, and persecution to Chicago. After rigorous screenings, refugees come here to learn English, find jobs, and help their children attain brighter futures. You make that possible. As a RefugeeOne donor, volunteer, or co-sponsor, you help these resilient people rebuild their lives.

Our story is about the people whom we serve, like Indra, a Bhutanese refugee who proudly achieved the American dream after only five years in the U.S. Our story is about Aminata from Liberia and her 11-year-old granddaughter, Mamayan, who is excelling in school. Our story is about the 447 refugees who arrived last year and the thousands of others we served during that time. And our story is about you, the donors and supporters who make our work possible.

Thomas lived what many in Burma would call a life of grace, even though he came from an ethnic minority and practiced a minority religion, Roman Catholicism. A simple request caused Thomas to become an “enemy” of the Communist junta, to be tortured and sent to a prison camp and, finally, flee for fear of his life. Said and Hodan met and fell in love in a refugee camp when they fled civil war in Somalia. Now that they have been resettled in the U.S., they are glad they can provide a better life for their children.
