Hold the Door Open, Sacramento!
Right now, there’s a lot at stake for refugees, immigrants, and other vulnerable families rebuilding their lives in Sacramento. As sweeping policy changes and funding cuts threaten to close our nation’s doors to people seeking safety, we need your help holding the door open for families like Elisa’s, an asylum seeker we welcomed from El Salvador.
That’s why this year’s Big Day of Giving is more than a fundraiser: it’s a lifeline to those whose lives are being upended by cruel and inhumane policies.
Join us in creating safety and stability for families like Elisa's
Elisa came to the U.S. after her daughter Gisell was targeted, kidnapped and became pregnant by a gang member in El Salvador. When they arrived in Sacramento, Opening Doors was there to welcome and walk alongside them, including throughout the asylum process. Thanks to our dedicated legal team’s assistance, Elisa and Gisell won their asylum claim, giving them the peace of mind that their safety here is permanent.
Your gifts hold the door open for immigrants, refugees, and survivors of human trafficking in our community, equipping them to succeed in their new home.
As one of the most welcoming and diverse places in the nation, Sacramento has a long history of offering refuge to those in need of safety. Show your commitment to upholding that tradition this Big Day of Giving by making a meaningful donation to Opening Doors.
Make an even bigger impact with your own fundraising page!
Ask your friends, family, and community or faith group to join you in holding the door open for immigrants, refugees, and survivors of trafficking. Setting up your page is quick, simple, and an effective way to generate the support families in our community need.
Opening Doors enriches communities by supporting immigrants, refugees, and survivors of trafficking on their path to stability, self- sufficiency, and belonging.
Steep federal funding cuts are putting Opening Doors' critical services in jeopardy. Your support provides immediate relief and long-term support to the families who need it most by ensuring:
- Flexible funding to be responsive to changing federal policies and urgent needs that arise, especially for those welcomed most recently, now at risk of homelessness and food insecurity.
- Legal services to defend people at risk of losing legal status or temporary protections, including Afghans, Ukrainians, Venezuelans, and others facing grave danger in their home countries.
