The Path Forward

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit IRIS- Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services (IRIS- Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services), and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about IRIS- Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services (IRIS- Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services): The mission of IRIS is to help refugees and other displaced people to establish new lives, regain hope, and contribute to the vitality of Connecticut's communities. Refugees are men, women and children who fled their countries of origin due to persecution on the basis of their race, nationality, religious belief, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. They are granted special immigration status according to international law. Each year the US government invites a small number of them to start new lives, or "resettle," in this country. The front-line work of resettlement is done by local agencies like IRIS. IRIS works intensively with refugees, particularly during the first year of their resettlement, to help them build lives of their own choosing in the US.
