Standing up
for refugees
who stood strong
This is Atifa. She helped evacuate 200 girls from Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover in 2001. Our Safe Route Immigration team has assisted the Vancouver, Washington, resident in her journey to secure asylum in the U.S. We are honored to stand with Atifa, and we encourage you to listen to her story in her own words.
Recapping
a year of
uplifting work
LCSNW’s thriving six lines of service and strong financial position are on full display in our 2024 annual report. More dynamic and easier to skim than before, the fiscal-year report includes a letter from CEO David Duea reflecting on his 10-year anniversary with the organization on July 1. He calls it the “hardest, best job I’ve ever had.”
Brightening
families’
job prospects
Refugees like Serhii and Tamara from Ukraine often have good job skills when they arrive in the U.S. In their case, they just needed a license to do general contracting. “Without your help we wouldn’t really have known where to start,” Tamara said of LCSNW. We are glad to help and share their story.
