Story

Thanks for supporting me to run 26.2 miles in aid of the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) UK. I have been working for JRS UK for two years and witnessed first hand the difference their support makes to individuals lives.  Deprived of the right to work and precluded from accessing any benefits and like many seeking asylum, refugee friends supported by JRS UK are unable to afford to pay for their basic needs. One refugee friend explained, "I have been denied housing, healthcare, legal aid and I don't have any money to support myself." Thanks to the support and generosity of incredible people like you, JRS UK is able to provide over 300 destitute refugees each month a warm welcome, advice, hardship grants, nutritious pantry staples and toiletries. "When I came to JRS I found each volunteer trying to put in their best effort to welcome me with my name, which in itself is a source of comfort. Each time, each encounter gives me strength to fight for my life." Your sponsorship will support refugees to access justice, to visit friends, to participate in community and live a flourishing life. Thanks for your support!
