Yemeni asylum seeker reunited with his family

Perhaps the worst humanitarian crisis in the world has been unfolding in Yemen since 2014. 

Due to ongoing conflict, more than two thirds of the people in Yemen cannot afford sufficient food to meet their daily needs. Roughly 4.5 million people are internally displaced, and women and children are at especially high risk of human trafficking and other forms of violence. 

A Yemeni man was able to flee to the US to claim asylum. He was placed in detention, where a CIJF-funded attorney took up his case. He subsequently won asylum, and his wife and children were reunited with him this year! 

December 5: Colorado Gives Day!

As of this writing, 24 generous folks have donated to CIJF via the Colorado Gives Day website; thank you! 

If you would like to join them, the last day to do so is Tuesday, December 5. All donations will include a partial match from our Colorado Gives Day friends. 

With your help, we can provide legal services to a growing number of asylum seekers!

With hope and gratitude, 
Greg Mortimer, on behalf of the Colorado Immigrant Justice Fund team
