CAN YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY?

As the year comes to a close, we are reflecting on the successes and struggles of this past year. Increasingly as survivors seek asylum in our country they are being detained in prison-like settings while their cases are evaluated. This year, more than 50% of our new clients- people we have evaluated and identified as survivors of torture-were or continue to be detained.
Providing services to detained clients is logistically difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, but the services we provide are critical. Detained torture survivors are already traumatized; the isolation and uncertainty of detention frequently deepens their trauma, and makes their ultimate recovery that much more difficult. Without the support of SURVIVORS, detained torture survivors are much less likely to be granted the political asylum they so desperately need.
We would like to invite you to make a difference for this group of San Diegans in crisis - torture survivors. Your contribution will be used to support services that help survivors to recover from torture through a holistic program that includes medical, dental, psychiatric, psychological, and social services. Your support helps torture survivors from all over the world to become integrated, healthy, and productive members of our communities.
Let's work together to show that we won't let torture survivors suffer alone. By making a thoughtful year-end donation, you will continue to help us meet the needs of individuals and families who have fled torture in pursuit of safety in San Diego County. All services are provided at no cost to the survivors and 91% of our funding is spent directly on our programs.
You can make a tax-deductible donation online through our secure website. Thank you for considering a year-end contribution to our effort to help survivors of torture and to help bring hope to them in their healing process.
