Welcome to Bright Future

Hello! We are fundraising to bring a refugee family to the U.S. via Welcome Corps. Our team specifically working to apply a private sponsorship program to identify a specific refugee family overseas (AKA phase 2). Welcome Corps launched in 2023 and is a federal initiative led by the State Department that allows everyday Americans to sponsor refugees and provide a safe, legal pathway for refugees to come to the United States. A refugee is a person forced to flee their country because of violence or persecution.

I am Mahlet Shanko, a Coordinator of Private Sponsorship Group. I hope this message finds you well. We are reaching out to you with a sincere request for support in our efforts to help Daniel Bekele Workneh's family to re-settle.

Based on Welcome Corps' guidance, we need to raise $2,500 per family member to sponsor a family. Our goal is to support Danie's family which is a family of 4 and we have set the goal to raise $10,000 to ensure that the family has adequate support to become settled and self-sufficient. This ensures that we are adequately prepared to support a family in finding their first home (security deposit, rent for the first few months), furnishing the apartment, and supporting a family with their basic needs (food, clothing, etc.) as they settle into their new community. As we strive to make a positive impact, your generous donation can play a crucial role in helping us achieve our goals. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. Your support will make a huge positive impact on the life of his family.

Members of the sponsorship group include: Mahlet Shanko, Sena Goshu, Addis Bereka, Feyera Chere, Bekabil Debelo
