Asylum seekers do NOT have a safety net to protect them from the impact of COVID-19.
The majority of our clients arrive in the U.S. with little more than the clothing on their backs. Unable to work or receive government assistance, our clients are initially forced to rely on the kindness of strangers. Now in a matter of weeks, the same courageous men, women, and children have lost the jobs, housing, and security they’ve worked so hard to achieve.
We need your help now.
In deciding how to respond to this crisis, we are reminded of ASAP’s commitment to practice radical hospitality. In better times, this means we work to make our clients feel welcomed. Today, we must interpret this value as a call to action. It is our responsibility to mobilize the kindness of strangers.
Double your donation.
ASAP’s Board of Directors has created a COVID-19 Client Emergency Fund to provide short-term financial assistance to clients struggling to meet their basic needs -- food, essential medications and other basics. As a show of solidarity, 100% of board members have contributed to this fund.
Give today and your donation will be matched up to a total of $25,000.
