How would you like to wake up one day, and discover a letter on your doorstep threatening to kill you if you don't leave the place your people have called home for thousands of years? How would you feel about having your business, home, or church bombed? What if your sister was kidnapped, raped, forced into marriage or murdered, all for being Christian? What if you were a part of this modern-day genocide?
The turmoil in Iraq & surrounding areas has taken a toll on more than 50,000 families, which are comprised of mostly Christians, including Assyrians, Chaldeans, Syriacs, Armenians, and other ancient and historic cultures dating back thousands of years. These refugees are being singled out, persecuted, kidnapped, raped, and even murdered because of their religious beliefs. They have no where to call home, and are forbidden to work, forcing young women into prostitution starting as young as 9 years old.
The Adopt-a-Refugee Family program has been sucessfully working with the Jesuits to aid these refugees for a little over one year. There are many ways to help, and 100% of your donations go directly to a family in dire need of help, and hope. There are many ways to help our cause.
In the month of March 2010:
Over 2,700 refugees were assisted
$46,552 in donations was sent overseas
Program to date:
Over $1.1 Million has been sent to our needy in Jordan and Syria by the Adopt-a-Refugee Family program, thanks to you! 100% of all donations go directly to the refugee families.
