Critical funding for refugees and families in need is gone. Families in crisis need your support.

We Need You to Stand In the Gap

Critical funding for refugees and vulnerable families we serve in the U.S. and worldwide has stopped abruptly. Millions of lives are at risk. Your help is urgently needed.

Today, more people than ever in recorded history have been forced to flee for their lives to another country or community — over 40% of them children. At World Relief, we serve these displaced families in countries across the world, including in the U.S.

Due to unexpected federal funding cuts, we now face a critical gap in supporting nearly 4,000 refugees in the U.S. and millions in need of lifesaving programs in fragile countries around the world. We urgently need your support to provide essential care - including food, shelter, medical care and more to these families in crisis.

Your generosity is now critical in our ability to provide for these basic needs and life-saving services.

$500 can give 5 refugee children school uniforms, backpacks and supplies for the school year

$1,200 can support a maternity ward for safe births in South Sudan for a year

Urge President Trump to uphold his commitment to protecting persecuted Christians and for his administration to sustain the refugee resettlement program.
