Support the Human Rights First Client Emergency Fund
Your donations can make a world of difference for those seeking asylum. Many arrive with little more than the clothes on their backs and face immediate challenges such as food insecurity, lack of clothing, the need for basic supplies, and lack of social connections.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps provide hope and support to those who have endured so much. Together, we can offer a warm welcome and basic essentials as asylum seekers resettle in their new country.
