When you support CWS’ Virtual Integration Services team, you become a lifeline for people like Mr. Francois, an asylum seeker from Haiti.
After losing his warehouse job, Mr. Francois faced overdue rent and uncertainty. Your generosity helps protect his dignity during overwhelming instability. Because of you, case manager Rose provides emergency rental assistance, case management, and a connection to legal help when Mr. Francois needs it most.
With your backing, Rose helps him obtain his asylum-filing receipt—an essential document required to progress toward receiving a vital work permit. Now eligible after 150 days, he can finally apply for a work permit. Yet the application fee threatens progress—until your compassion steps in. Your gift helps asylum seekers secure work permits, access emergency aid, and rebuild stability. Your compassion restores dignity, safety, and hope.
