"They have been like a father and mother to me."

When Salana shares what a difference IAFR made in his life through its ministry at Jonathan House He says. "Jonathan House carried me through."

Salana was referred to Jonathan House through a connection to the Center for Victims of Torture. Like many asylum seekers, he had been unable to find stable housing since he wasn't allowed a work permit for the first year in the US while he waited for his asylum hearing to be decided.

In the last four years at Jonathan House, Salana shares that it was Jonathan House "who helped me with my food, my shelter, my clothes, all my needs… It was Jonathan House who helped support me, the one who carried me through this time."

While he waits for reunification with his family, Salana compares Jonathan House to family.

"They have been like a father and a mother to me. As long as I live, I will never forget what Jonathan House has done for me."
