About Me

As an Immigrant I was lucky to come to this country under very favorable circumstances. Refugees today face a daunting landscape of obstacles as they seek to save their families from war, famine and discrimination. Please help me support Interfaith RISE who's impressive work in this field has helped many refugee families on thier road to self sufficiency. Interfaith Refugee and Immigrant Services and Empowerment (Interfaith-RISE) is an official program site of the US Committee for Refugees & Immigrants. We are committed to resettling refugees in central NJ, assisting asylum seekers before and after release from Elisabeth Detention Center, and supporting local faith and civic groups as they advocate for and work with refugees in their communities. Interfaith-RISE assists with housing, ESL, social services, education, medical assistance, mental health services, transportation, and supportive community integration as families and individuals journey towards self-sufficiency and independence.
