Your Help Is Urgently Needed – A Refugee Family's Story

Dear Friend,

Thank you for taking the time to read our last message. As we shared, the situation facing refugee families in Atlanta and Savannah is dire. We are still working to raise $52,000 for 50 households in Atlanta and $25,000 for 30 households in Savannah to prevent evictions if their rent is unpaid two days from now on March 1st. The need is urgent, as we do not have this funding currently to assist them, and I wanted to take a moment to share a story that illustrates why your support is so crucial.

One of the families we serve is Mary and her three young children. Mary and her family fled violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where her husband was tragically killed due to the violence against Christians in their community. With no support and nowhere else to turn, Mary fled with her children to the U.S., hoping for a better life.

Resettled in Clarkston, Georgia in December 2024, Mary and her children have found refuge and safety, but they still face immense challenges. Her children are adjusting to a new life and learning English, while Mary works hard to find a job and create a stable future. However, the assistance she was receiving to help pay their rent is no longer available due to the freeze in government funding.

Without your help, Mary and her children risk being evicted from their home in the coming days. The stability they’ve fought so hard to achieve could be shattered. For them—and for so many others—your donation means more than just financial assistance; it means a future free from the constant fear of homelessness.

We still need to raise $52,000 in Atlanta and $25,000 in Savannah to keep families like Mary’s safe and housed through March. Please consider making a donation today to help keep families from the brink of eviction. You can donate online at weinspirit.org/donate, or if you prefer, you can email me to pledge a donation via mail or through your church.

Mary’s story is just one of many. With your support, we can ensure that these families—who have already lost so much—can rebuild their lives and move towards self-sufficiency.

Thank you once again for your compassion and generosity. Your donation today will directly help families like Mary’s and many others who are counting on us to make it through this difficult time.

Sincerely,

John R. Moeller Jr.
