Help End the Refugee Crisis in America

Imagine it’s the middle of winter and you arrive in the United States with just the clothes on your back. You come from a country where you have never seen snow, only to be resettled in the North East. You are placed in a dingy apartment with only a few mattresses on the floor and a couple of blankets. This scenario is all too familiar to the many families brought to the United States as refugees.

An Iraqi family arrived in the middle of the winter, a husband and wife with two small children, who were placed in a unit which did not have a refrigerator. Fortunately as it was cold, they were able to store their food outside their back door. Unfortunately, they were only given one mattress on the floor and a few blankets to share.
