Stand with our Immigrant Neighbors this Big Day of Giving

Right now, there’s a lot at stake for immigrants, refugees, and survivors of trafficking rebuilding their lives in Sacramento. Policy changes, refugee re-screenings, and increased immigration enforcement are creating uncertainty and anxiety for families seeking safety—many of whom are already navigating complex legal systems while starting over with very little.

This Big Day of Giving is a critical moment to ensure Northern California remains a place where newcomers can find stability, support, and opportunity.

Support families like Luisa’s

After fleeing cartel violence in Mexico, Luisa came to the U.S. seeking safety for her children and a chance to rebuild. Like many asylum seekers, she arrived with limited resources and an uncertain path forward.

Opening Doors is working alongside Luisa’s family as they navigate the asylum process—helping cover costly application fees, secure work permits, and access the support they need to stay stable while their case continues. With the ability to work, Luisa and her oldest son are regaining financial stability and building a more secure future.

Your support ensures families like Luisa’s don’t have to face these challenges alone. Sacramento has long been a place of welcome for those seeking safety and a fresh start. Be part of that legacy this Big Day of Giving by making a meaningful gift to Opening Doors.

Giving Activity

Mission

Opening Doors enriches communities by supporting immigrants, refugees, and survivors of trafficking on their path to stability, self- sufficiency, and belonging.

Needs

Shifting federal policies, funding cuts, and ongoing refugee rescreenings are putting Opening Doors’ critical services—and the stability of the families we serve—at risk. Your support provides both immediate relief and long-term stability by ensuring:

- Flexible funding to respond to changing federal policies, refugee rescreenings, and urgent needs as they arise—especially for newly arrived families now at heightened risk of homelessness and food insecurity.

- Legal services to support individuals navigating rescreenings, defending their status, or at risk of losing temporary protections.
