How do you measure happiness?
- For Dakshi, an asylum seeker from Nepal, it’s seeing his wife and son for the first time in four years.
- For Maria, it’s getting the call that she’s been granted a U-Visa and will no longer live each day with the threat of deportation, the loss of her children, and abuse from her American husband.
- And for Ivana, it’s being saved from a life of forced prostitution by human traffickers.
Because of support from people like you and the dedicated professionals American Gateways, new immigrants to America get the high quality legal services they need to join our American family and begin a new life free of torture and abuse.
Please consider making a tax deductible donation today so that we can continue to ensure that new immigrants seeking political asylum, protection from domestic abuse, and human trafficking will receive the complex legal services needed to successfully navigate our immigration agencies and courts.
We are constantly amazed at the bravery and courage of our international clients who - despite the devastating experiences that forced them to leave their home country, family and friends - put one foot in front of the other each and every day, and have hope that their future will be better. It is truly inspiring!
Remember that happiness takes all forms - sharing a special dinner with family and friends, opening gifts on your birthday, or receiving word that your years of waiting for a visa or asylum are over and you too are a part of our diverse American family. A generous donation to American Gateways is a gift that will never be forgotten.
On behalf of all the clients we’ve served in 2011 and from all of us at American Gateways - thank you for your support - you have changed lives!
