Announcing Waitlist Zero! 📣 👏
AsylumWorks has been growing at a rapid pace to meet the growing demand for our services – if you’ve seen the news in recent months, you’ll know why. The ongoing conflict in Afghanistan, the devastating war in Ukraine, and the humanitarian crises at the Southern border have brought an influx of innocent people seeking safety to our region. They join the over 50,000 asylum seekers already living in Washington D.C. Metro regions fleeing violence and persecution in their own countries.
As the need grows, our client waitlist grows, too. For those individuals and families, the vast majority of whom do not qualify for resettlement services, a waitlist is a place full of uncertainty, a place where basic needs are not easily met – if they’re met at all.
To address our waitlist of 150+ people, we’re launching Waitlist Zero: From Surviving to Thriving. Our goal is to raise $50,000 over the next four weeks to help significantly reduce the length of time our clients spend on the waitlist to receive Asylum Works’ services and support.
Over the next four weeks, we’ll be sharing storiesj – stories of our clients’ experiences both on and off the waitlist; stories of their journey to AsylumWorks; stories of success. Each and every one of these stories you’ll read were made possible only through your support.
It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless when the world is full of bad news. But right here, in our own backyard, we can make a difference for thousands of people who are working to rebuild their lives. Waitlist Zero’s intent is to move these people from a place of basic survival to a place where they can grow, where they have access to our vast network of partners and resources, where they can start their second chance.
A place where they can thrive.
