Zhara fled an arranged marriage only to face abuse and removal proceedings in the U.S. With JFAI’s support through a VAWA petition, she closed her case and secured permanent residency. Today, she is safe, free to work, travel, and rebuild her life.
In our August 2025 Newsletter, we share stories of resilience and community, from Zhara’s four-year fight for safety to local benefit events and staff trainings. We also highlight Citizenship Day, upcoming Big Give 2025, and important immigration news impacting families today.
