Nearly 100 asylum-seekers are arriving daily in Phoenix, fleeing violence and persecution in their home countries for the safety and freedom of the United States. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) and our partner organizations are providing critical humanitarian assistance to these families when they arrive, including food, shelter, and medical assistance.

After a multi-year journey from his home country, with support and guidance from the IRC and IOM, Adbul, his wife, and two sons have finally settled in San Diego.

Looking back on 2020, and forward to a healthy, hopeful new year.
