THE CAUSE
Imagine living life, as you do each day, going to work, school, the comfort of your own home, being around friends and family freely, then suddenly having to escape war and violence that has just stricken your hometown, where you have no choice but to leave all your possessions behind… This was the reality for refugees from the countries that neighbor Jordan. Unfortunately, the resources are low in this region, and with more than half of the refugee population being children there, it is very difficult for these families to find the daily provision they need to live anything close to a normal life. We feel called to this cause, and we want to respond by helping these families in any way that we can!
WHAT IS OUR RESPONSE?
We’re going to Jordan! We have decided to take on an opportunity to do outreach for the refugees. Our purpose is to create a greater awareness of the struggle of refugees today. We will be personally meeting 33+ refugee families to hear their stories, build relationships, and provide them assistance.
WILL YOU BE A PART OF THEIR STORY?
Our vision for this trip is to let these families know that we in American have heard about their stories and want to do something about it. We want to invite you to be a part of this vision! We believe that together we can lift up the refugees, relieve some of their burdens, and raise their hopes!
Here is how you can be a part of their story:
- SUPPORT BY DONATING any amount you are excited to give! The goal is $3,300 by April 10, 2019! This will provide $100 of food for each of the 33+ refugee families, which will last them 2-3 weeks. (If you wish to make a tax deductible donation, please message me separately before contributing here).
- SUPPORT BY PRAYER. We need prayer over the preparations for this trip, prayer for protection as we travel, and prayer for the provision of funds for these families.
- SUPPORT BY SHARING this cause/fundraising page with everyone you know! Feel free to post it on your social media page as well! This will spread awareness and help raise more funds for the suffering refugees.
We cannot do this alone, and you are a huge part of their story as we will make mention of your support directly to them. No matter how you choose to support, we are grateful for your time to acknowledge this cause! THANK YOU!

MORE FROM LAURIEL AND REZA
Hey everyone! It’s Lauriel.
I’m thankful to get to share some of my history with you! I take this journey very much to heart because when I was 14 years old, my family and I moved to Jordan and lived there for over 6 years. In 2011, we watched the refugees in the middle of their crisis and persecution make their exodus into Jordan. Since that time, we have been impressed and called to provide ongoing hope & relief to these families in poverty that daily face unimaginable hardship. Now we want to provide you with this same opportunity. My family has been in touch with the refugee families all these years. In April when I walk into their home and listen to their stories again, provide food and reassure them not to give up, they will know that we in America have not forgotten them.
Hey guys! Reza, here.
First of all, thank you for getting this far! I hope that all of this has spoken deeply to your heart as it has to mine. Here’s a little background: I met Lauriel about 8 months after she had returned from living in Jordan (she was living there for over 6 years!). She shared with me the experiences she had and how life changing it was to help the refugees over there. The more I learned about the refugees, what they have endured, and how they continue to hope for a better future for their families, the more compassion I felt toward them. When I was presented the opportunity to be a part of this trip, I was a bit nervous, but also extremely excited. Mind you, I have never been on a trip like this, so this will be a new experience for me; The first out of country experience to help those in great need. I am honored to give a helping hand, and grateful to be a part of this story with you all!
