We’re Halfway There—Help Us Reach Our Goal by TODAY!
/Dear Friend,
I am writing today with gratitude and a sense of urgency as we approach a critical moment in our efforts to support refugee families in Atlanta and Savannah. Thanks to the generosity of many, we are halfway toward our goal of raising $52,000 in Atlanta and $25,000 in Savannah, but March rent is due today—and we need your help to meet the goal in time.
To those who have already given, thank you. Your support has been a lifeline for families like Bohdan's and Ahmed's, and it has helped us make incredible progress in ensuring that refugee families can remain housed during these challenging times. However, we still have a long way to go, and every donation counts in this final push.
Today, I want to share the story of Jian, Mei, and their young daughter, Lili, who fled persecution in China and arrived in Atlanta in December 2024. Jian, a former human rights advocate, was targeted by the Chinese government for his work defending the rights of marginalized groups. After facing threats of arrest and violence, Jian and his family made the difficult decision to leave everything behind and seek refuge in the United States.
Since their arrival, the family has worked hard to adjust to a new life in Atlanta. But like so many others, they’ve faced enormous challenges—finding employment, navigating a new culture, and dealing with the trauma of their past experiences. They are eager to build a future, but without the support they’ve received from you, their housing stability would be at risk.
The rent assistance we’ve been able to provide has been critical in keeping Jian, Mei, and Lili housed, and it’s helped them stay focused on their goals. However, without immediate funds, they, along with many others, face the possibility of eviction—disrupting their journey to independence and stability.
We are halfway there, but we need your help to make sure they—and 79 other households—can remain safely housed. Your donation will help us reach our goal and provide the support they need to stay in their homes. Every dollar counts.
Please give generously today at weinspirit.org/donate. If you prefer to donate by mail or through your church, please email me directly how much you plan to give, and we’ll ensure that your funds help a family with their rent, today.
Together, we can help families like Jian and Mei’s build a brighter future. Let’s make sure they, and so many others, aren’t displaced today.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity. Your support makes a world of difference.
Sincerely,
Virginia Spencer
Chief Development Officer
