I am so heartbroken with you for this family, your friends. I read your book and it was so powerful. I feel at such a loss to help, stuck between despair and rage. But I keep reminding myself that there are always ways to love and care for others - near and far - and I can do that. Thank you for your presence, your perseverance, and work for refugees.
I work in resettlement in Dallas. Thank you for this post and what you’re doing with the Injustice Report. I’ve spent all week begging and looking for rental support money for my clients who have eviction notices because of our funding freeze. There is not much out there to help them. I feel paralyzed, they feel paralyzed. They are so confused as to why this is happening in our country, where they never would’ve envisioned the hardship they’re now facing.
Thank you so much for writing this, Jessica. I’m so devastated that Hasna will continue to be separated from her family—I haven’t stopped wondering about her and her family since reading your book years ago.
My job at one of the ten refugee resettlement agencies funded by ORR has been furloughed starting this week. My team primarily served newly-resettled Afghans and Ukrainians in accessing health resources and now they will be left out to dry. The effects of this evil administration are so far-reaching.

As a fellow ASA-AUSAA funded team, I’m so sorry!!!
