Join Paula and #StandWithRefugees

Please support my fundraiser for the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Atlanta!

Friends, please join me and #StandWithRefugees! I’m committed to raising $100 to help the locally-funded Atlanta office of the IRC to continue welcoming and serving refugees from crisis zones around the world as they rebuild their lives here in Georgia. No donation is too small!

I have chosen to support the IRC in Atlanta because I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live in safety and build a better future. Refugees often leave their homes because of war, violence, or persecution and must start over in a completely new environment.

The IRC helps individuals and families find housing, employment, education, healthcare, and other resources needed to become successful members of their new communities. Their work helps people rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

As a college student, I value opportunities to support organizations that create positive change and strengthen communities. By supporting this fundraiser, you are helping refugee families access the resources they need to establish stability and independence here in Georgia.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about the IRC and for supporting this important cause.

Please commit to this work alongside us and make a donation to support our new American neighbors and the IRC in Atlanta today!

Thank you for standing with refugees!
