One day left!

April 23, 2026

Our project ends tomorrow and we are so excited to announce that we have reached 108% of our goal so far! Thank you so much for supporting this important cause. 

On April 21, we attended the Mayerson Award Ceremony and presented RefugeeConnect with the funds. We are so grateful to you for giving us this opportunity to support health navigation for our new refugees in our community and make such a huge difference.

We met our goal!

April 13, 2026
Thanks to you and a generous $2,000 match from the Mayerson Student Philanthropy Project, we met our goal of $4,550! By meeting this goal, we will be able to provide so much support to the Health Navigators Programs at RefugeeConnect.

One of the classmates said that the individual donations:

…make the support feel more personal and meaningful, and they really help build a sense of community. They show people coming together to support others, which adds a level of authenticity to the funding.

We are truly thankful to you for making a gift to this project – you have made a huge difference in the lives of refugees in our region.

THANK YOU!

Week one update!

April 02, 2026

Thank you so much for supporting our project! After just one week, we have already reached 36% of our goal and are less than $1,000 away from reaching our $2,000 match from the Mayerson Philanthropy Project! With the $1,660 we have raised so far, we can provide so much support to RefugeeConnect through the Health Navigators Program. For example, your support will offer customized training and assistance to healthcare partners, helping them implement culturally responsive practices and enhance care for refugee patients.   

We still have progress to make and are excited to continue raising support for RefugeeConnect. By reaching our goal, we will help refugee families access healthcare safely, confidently and with dignity.
