Refugee Assistance Fundraiser 2024 - Peace Islands Institute New York

Life as a refugee can be lonely, difficult, and dangerous. This is particularly true for many of the thousands of Turkish refugees who have fled to neighboring Greece in recent years, searching for their freedom. Most arrive with nothing, and must immediately confront the challenges of earning income and finding a place to live, without any support from the government or the community-at-large. Many report feeling scared, abandoned, vulnerable.

But they are not alone if we stand together with them. This is why PII New York is partnering with Embrace Relief to cover the cost of housing for four refugee families in Greece for an entire year! Finding a suitable place to live is one of the biggest obstacles to a free, secure existence for refugees. If we work together to remove this obstacle, we can give our refugee friends in Greece the stability they need to rebuild their lives.

But this fundraiser will also do more than cover housing costs for our friends: it will let them know that they are not alone. Your donation sends a message that refugee families are a part of our community, and we will support them as they rebuild their lives.

Donate today and help PII New York and Embrace Relief reach our fundraising goal of $28,800. Your donations will help provide families with peace of mind in their time of greatest need. Together, we can make an incalculable impact on the lives of brave, freedom-seeking refugees!
