VIJAY Supports Refugees in NH

Please support my fundraiser for BCNH!

This year, the United States is admitting just 7,500 refugees - that's down from 125,000 in 2025. Federal funding has been gutted. Paperwork processing has slowed down. Work authorizations are expiring early — stranding families just as they were finding their footing. When immigration policies seem too confusing to navigate, and the language barrier seems too difficult to overcome, or a good job feels just out of reach, BCNH is here to help. 

Slava, a BCNH client from Ukraine spoke at an event in April and shared that upon arriving to the US, "Simple things become difficult. Sometimes it was confusing. Sometimes it was frustrating. Then I met BCNH. Honestly, they knew what I needed, even before I understood it myself. From the very first meeting they explained what to do, how to do, when to do, and how to do it correctly. They support, guide, and encourage people every day. Their work gives something very important: hope. The hope for a stable, safe, and dignified life."

Slava M speaks at BCNH's Celebration of Refugee Resettlement on April 23, 2026Since 2009 BCNH has been walking alongside refugees as they rebuild their lives in the US. Our case managers are former refugees themselves and know personally how difficult the journey can be because. In addition to the critical case management assistance to keep immigration paperwork up to date, BCNH case managers provide workforce development, job placement, ESOL and citizenship classes, school support, and help navigating healthcare. And just as importantly, they provide hope.
