HOPE CAN RISE!
This June 20th, let’s be the reason Someone Smiles Again!!!
World Refugees Day is not just a date on the calendar, it’s a call to humanity, a reminder that even in the harshest circumstances, HOPE CAN RISE!
We are hosting three (3) powerful events to Uplift, Heal, and Empower.
1. Food Outreach: For many Refugees and Displaced persons, this may be their only meal of the day.
2. Free Medical Outreach: A chance at health, healing, and a pain, free tomorrow.
3. Empowerment Seminar: Tools, Knowledge, and Inspiration to rebuild shattered dreams on a topic, “SOLIDARITY WITH REFUGEES ” in conjunction with the United Nations Policy (UNHCR) 2025.
But behind every meal, every medical kit, and every word of encouragement is someone like YOU..
We need your support Not for show, but for soulsNot for numbers, but for names.
Give what you can. Share this message. Be the change.
Donate today! Because when we give hope, we rewrite stories.
