Dear John,

There are many hard truths about the events unfolding at our southern border.
The situation is worse than you think. Most of the people seeking safety in the
United States – many of them children – are up against a complex system with no
legal support.

Not only is our government taking unprecedented steps to limit admissions of the
refugees and asylum seekers who most need our help, they’re separating families
and holding innocent children in detention, while their parents remain in Mexico
awaiting their day in court. These are people who need a helping hand, not a
slammed door.

As this humanitarian crisis only grows more dire, HIAS remains one of the most
experienced organizations responding to help asylum seekers right there on the
ground at our border – but our life-changing efforts depend entirely on the
generosity of supporters like you.

Will you donate $18 or more right now to help asylum
seekers and refugees at our border and around the world escape dangerous
situations in their homelands?

Our community of supporters drives our work, making it possible for our teams to
provide an array of services at the border, from individual legal
representation, to educational presentations to help refugees and asylum seekers
know their rights, to reuniting families who have been separated.

This work is absolutely vital to helping asylum seekers build new lives free
from persecution and violence, but the truth is that none of this work is
possible without your help. That’s why we’re counting on you to help make sure
we can continue extending a helping hand to all those who need one by stepping
up with your support today.

Please, donate $18 or more right now to help HIAS continue
providing critical legal aid and resettlement assistance to refugees and asylum
seekers in their most urgent moments of need.
