This holiday season, we’re reminded that it doesn’t take much to change someone’s world.

For a newly arrived family, your $10 can mean a warm meal.
For a young refugee student, your $25 can mean school supplies for a new beginning.
For a parent starting over in a country they’ve never known, your $50 can mean support, guidance, and hope.

At RISE, we see every day how small acts of generosity create big transformations.
Families who once arrived with nothing are now building community, finding safety, and creating new futures—because someone believed in them.

And that someone can be you.

No gift is too small.
No act of kindness goes unnoticed.
Any amount—truly any amount—can change a life.

If you’re able, please give today and help a refugee or immigrant family rise.
