OUR VISION
Driven by a strong belief in the power of comprehensive development, Embrace Relief is committed to creating a lasting impact in the lives of individuals locally and globally.

Millions of people contemplate fleeing their home country due to war, violence, persecution, and terror every minute. Those who are brave enough to do so must uproot their families and seek asylum in a foreign country. These families bring little to nothing with them, leaving them vulnerable to homelessness, starvation, and even death during the journey. If they happen to survive the journey, many call the police for help because of exhaustion. The police place them into detainment centers where they are not guaranteed a bed or even food.
Refugees who find themselves in these predicaments call Embrace Relief, and we place them into emergency housing until we can help them find a place to live. Furthermore, we provide translators to assist with their search, asylum paperwork, and place the children into school.
We currently support 166 families, of whom 106 are single mothers. Those helped with rent have lost their life savings during their journey to freedom due to encounters with smugglers. There are still thousands of refugees seeking shelter away from overcrowded and unsanitary refugee camps. Today, you have the opportunity to help a refugee family find a place to call home.
Our representative evaluates their rent assistance application to be approved or rejected under the guidelines we have set. If approved, we provide up to $500 in rent assistance. Furthermore, volunteers provide refugees English learning courses, online job training, donated clothes, and hold camps and gatherings for refugee children to make friends and play.
We kindly encourage you to consider making a monthly donation towards refugee rent assistance, which will, in turn, help us further our efforts to help the refugee community.

Over the years, Embrace Relief has helped over 1.4 million refugees that have been forcibly displaced. They are forced to leave their home, belongings, and families in hopes of starting a brand new life in a foreign country away from the ongoing conflicts occurring in a place they once called home.We are proud to be one of the few organizations providing English courses known as the English Conversational Partnership Program to many of our refugees. There are currently 152 refugees enrolled in our program, where they are systematically paired with native English speakers. The pairs meet once a week via video or phone calls where they discuss current events, their day, read books, articles, and newspapers in English so the refugee can learn how to speak and understand the language. This unique program has been extremely successful, with many being able to further their education, excel in school, obtain jobs, and make new friends. Since English is the universal language, it is a requirement for many universities in Europe. We have seen multiple refugees who participate in this program be accepted into prestigious schools to pursue their dreams. We have also witnessed how overtime, the relationships between refugees and our volunteers have continued to blossom after completing our program into a life-long friendship. Every day brings uncertainty as to what lies ahead for them. Therefore, helping refugees is one of our main priorities. By establishing a multi-faceted system, we go beyond supplying them with food. We are proud to assist them in their lives by also providing psychological support, shelter, translators, and guidance via pro-bono lawyers who help them with the asylum-seeking process. The future for the refugees in Greece is uncertain, but, with your support, we ensure that they’re provided with all of the necessities and care needed to foster an easy transition. Refugees have no choice. You do with Embrace Relief.Please help support the lives and educations of refugees today by Clicking Here.

This week, Northern California experienced a record-breaking heatwave with nearly 12,000 lightning strikes in areas that have started wildfires and have caused burning homes and evacuation. So far, 1.66 million acres have burned, and 15,800 firefighters all the way from Florida and New Jersey are providing extra help. However, fire experts say that this year is especially dry, and they are just reaching the peak of the fire season. There are still at least two or three months left before the rain arrives.

Any donation amount, big or small, will help us bring humanitarian relief to those affected. Please join us in our mission to help those affected by these California Wildfires.
There’s been an ongoing conflict in Yemen since the end of 2014, which has resulted in the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Thousands of innocent Yemeni civilians have been killed and injured due to this civil war. More than 17,500 civilians have been killed and wounded since 2015, according to the Yemen Data Project, 20+ million people in Yemen are experiencing food insecurity, and 10 million are at risk of severe famine. 24.1 million Yemeni people require immediate humanitarian assistance. Since March 2015, 3.65 million have been internally displaced. Hundreds of people have also died due to the flash floods happening that ravish the country. They are among the most vulnerable to the pandemic. According to UNICEF, around 2 million children under five years old suffer from malnutrition. Before the pandemic, 2 million children were out of school due to conflict and poverty. Sadly, that number has increased to 7 million children currently not going to school. Furthermore, roughly 10% of Yemenis depend wholly on remittances.Yemen’s economy, already weak before the conflict, has been deeply affected. Thousands of families no longer have a stable income source, and many government workers have not received a consistent salary in several years. The country’s broken economy has intensified the humanitarian crisis. The war has had a devastating impact on the lives of people living in Yemen. Millions of people don’t have the necessities needed to live due to limited food and fuel supplies, as well as buildings and roads being destroyed. Furthermore, they have no access to proper healthcare because their medical facilities shattered during the worst cholera outbreak, with 110,000+ confirmed cases in April. Consequently, it leads them to poor sanitation and the inability to get the needed treatment, which can cause a second deadly wave of COVID-19. The health and safety of Yemeni people are in considerable threat. According to UNICEF, an estimated 12 million children are affected, which will worsen in lieu of the Coronavirus. There is no reliable documentation of COVID-19 cases in Yemen, and it’s believed to be an undercount due to limited testing ability. Embrace Relief partners with local Yemeni charities to distribute food packages to help alleviate hunger and fight the widespread famine throughout the country. Each food package has 25 kg of wheat flour, 5 kg of rice, 5 kg of sugar, and 2 liters of cooking oil. These packages will be delivered directly to the doors of those in need. Each one of these packages costs only $50 – comparable to a night out getting dinner. With everything going on in Yemen, you can be their silver lining during these uncertain and scary times. Show them that there is and will always be hope for them and that no matter what, their future will always be as bright as the sun.Please join us in our mission to help the Yemeni people and bring them the much-needed humanitarian aid they require by Clicking Here.
On August 27th, 2020, Hurricane Laura hit Louisiana and left a path of devastation and destruction. Hurricane Laura has caused at least six deaths, including a 14-year-old girl. These deaths occurred due to trees collapsing into houses throughout southern Louisiana.
Hurricane Laura brought winds upward of 150 mph and caused devastating damage to homes, businesses, historical landmarks, places of worship, schools, and more. A 20-foot flash flood storm surge wrecked Lake Charles, Louisiana, and neighboring counties. Furthermore, a chemical plant caught fire started in West Lake, Louisiana, causing harmful smoke to be released in the air, including “chlorine, nitric oxide, and other toxins used in industrial and commercial disinfectants and swimming pools maintenance,” according to The Washington Post.
Last September 13, Embrace Relief together with the help of the Atlas Foundation, International Relations Committee, and the Louisiana Organization of Refugees and Immigrants, distributed food packages to 100 families. They first visited the Lake Charles Fire Station and then dropped off the packages at the delivery site. From there, the donations were distributed to the victims of Hurricane Laura. In addition, Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome, Mayor-President of the City of Baton Rouge and Parish of East Baton Rouge, was present during the distribution.
