To be honest, we weren’t sure if we could help Dahlia and her daughter Amelia escape a Middle Eastern country and return safely to the United States. Her abusive husband held immense power, and the obstacles seemed insurmountable. But miracles do happen — and your support made helping them possible.
Fleeing in the middle of the night with nothing but a backpack and a diaper bag with her baby Amelia in her arms, they were aided by compasionate strangers along the way. After several hours, Dahlia eventually made her way to the American Embassy, where our team had already been coordinating safety planning for several months.
Once they arrived in the USA, Pathways stepped in to ensure they had housing and access to every resource they needed to start rebuilding their lives. Coordinating this care required over 215 emails, phone calls and meetings through our crisis channels — every message a step toward safety and stability.
Thanks to donors like you, Dahlia and Amelia are now safe, supported, and beginning to heal. Your generosity turns what once seemed impossible into a reality of hope, security, and a fresh start.
Thank you for your belief in our mission.
