Now, we’d like to tell you about some of the refugees we’ve served in Greece. Their stories are powerful, heart-wrenching, human. Their lives have been upended, but they move forward with grace, strength, and faith. And the support of people like you has made an enormous impact on their lives.

Love From Greece
“ When I receive a food package, I know that someone is thinking of us and supporting us. Which
means there are people who care about us. This is so precious.”
– Hazan
“ I think the most important help I receive from organizations is rent assistance. This is the
most important because I don’t have any income, so I would have no way to pay my rent […]
Thank you for your support! ”– Rabia
“ When we arrived here, we had nothing and no opportunity to improve our condition. My children
and I might be homeless if you didn’t support us. I really appreciate your support,
thank you. ”
– Nazli
“ Embrace Relief is very important for the refugee people, especially touching the children’s
lives. The foundation is helping me with my responsibilities to my children because they send us
food packages with snacks and presents for children. You are saving us.
