Dear Friends and Supporters,
For the past three years, TraNa Relief Association, Inc. has been dedicated to providing vital programs of support for refugee families rebuilding their lives in the United States.
To continue this important work, we are raising $52,000 to fund 18 programs scheduled for late 2025 and throughout 2026.
Because we do not receive federal funding yet, we rely on the generosity of caring individuals and businesses to make these programs possible.
A detailed business plan with full expense breakdowns is available upon request.
Here is a brief look at the impact your support will create:
- Humanitarian aid: essential household and personal hygiene supplies.
- Professional consultations: with attorneys, tax specialists, and other experts.
- Therapy sessions: for refugees who fled the war in Ukraine and require trauma-informed psychological support.
- Community gatherings: for children, seniors, and families, helping reduce isolation.
- Educational tours around New York City, and special programs for expectant mothers and new parents.
- Pet support: helping families register microchips, access veterinary care, vaccinations, and food for their pets.
- Women’s empowerment classes: building success at home and in careers.
- Emergency assistance: for those recovering from surgery or experiencing crises such as domestic violence.
- Cultural enrichment: concerts, exhibitions, and excursions that foster integration into American society.
Each of our 18 planned programs will host 50–60 participants, allowing us to serve up to 1,000 people over the year. The cost per participant comes to just $52–55, a small amount that makes a life-changing difference.
Your sponsorship will not only directly support refugees and immigrants but will also connect your business with hundreds of grateful families who may become your most loyal customers.
Together, we can help more people find stability, dignity, and hope on their new path.
We would be deeply grateful for your support and partnership.
With gratitude, Natalia Travilina
