REFUGEES, IMMIGRANTS & THOSE DISPLACED FROM NATIVE HOMES

ARDR Allies is here to restore hope and build lives for thousands fleeing persecution and violence in their home land. By partnering with local churches, businesses and schools we can replace their life of fear and bring hope and peace.

Replacing violence and trauma with community, we are able to bring peace, healing and a new start for these families. By uniting together, we are able to reunify families that were separated by war for many years.

The stories you will hear from those running for their lives will create change that will last a lifetime. Another key to creating this change is the creation of a volunteer network. Working to unite volunteers who can help connect ARDR Allies with those in our communities will allow us to come alongside those hurting and needy as they adjust and learn a new way.

REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT & SELF-SUFFICIENT SERVICES

When refugees first come to the US, they are connected with a resettlement agency for a period of three months. What happens after the three-month period is over, once the resettlement funds are used? They have spent most of their lives in refugee camps. They are still learning about our culture. They haven’t learned to speak the language yet. These families continue to struggle.

This is where ARDR Allies would like to step in and continue working with the refugees to help in their transition. We want to meet them where they are in their journey and walk along side by providing support and responding to their needs. The list below contains items that are needed, will help with transition, or could provide comfort for the refugee families. Please consider helping to meet these needs.
