ACHRSS Urges Community Support for Asylum Program Fundraiser
Bronx, NY: The American Center for Human Rights and Social Services is reaching out to the people of NYC, calling for needed support for a cause that is crucial to the community. In response to the pressing need for assistance from many clients, and growing rate of immigrants entering the U.S., ACHRSS is launching a fundraising campaign to establish an asylum program for asylum seekers in need of assistance.
“The increasing rate of clients coming in seeking to apply for asylum is baffling, this fundraiser is crucial for us to be able to better support them.” says Abdulla Saleh, the executive director at American Center for Human Rights and Social Services “As the only non-profit organization within a 10-mile radius that offers free immigration support, our newly established organization faces great pressure, considering our limited staff and funding, we are limited in the types of services we can offer.”
The organization aims to raise $100,000 to fund the upcoming asylum program. These funds will be crucial in enabling ACHRSS to hire new employees, fund legal assistance, and maintain the space (rent, utility bills, etc..), significantly enhancing their ability to provide crucial support to asylum seekers.
The funds raised will be allocated to these key areas within the asylum program:
- Legal Assistance
- Asylum applications
- Work Permits
“We want to be able to offer the services other big name Non-profit organizations offer, with this fundraiser were better able to provide the more crucial services such as legal assistance which is costly due to the high rates charged by immigration lawyers” Stated by Abdulwali Saleh, President of The American Center for Human Rights and Social Services on the fundraiser about page.
The American Center for Human Rights and Social Services is a recently established non-profit organization in the Bronx, NY. This organization is dedicated to serving the local community by providing essential services, including SNAP (food stamps), Cash Assistance, and Medicaid (Health Insurance). They also provide immigration services, such as filing applications and giving consultations. With a committed and multilingual team, ACHRSS provides comprehensive support to individuals from various backgrounds, ensuring that everyone in the community has access to the assistance they need. So far, ACHRSS is quickly building a positive reputation, considering they are the only organization in the community offering these essential services for free, they are making a significant impact on the lives of many who are struggling.
