The joy of the first hug after years of separation. The realization that your children can walk to school without fear. AURA builds a bridge of hope to a new future.

I grew up hearing stories of my grandmother’s refugee flight.  I serve to support others as my own family was helped in their resettlement. I first learned about AURA during the Syrian refugee crisis.  I joined the Board after being a part of a Sponsor Group through my church.
