BECOME a U4U SPONSOR
ABOUT PROJECT
Sponsorship is a powerful way to welcome newcomers to the U.S., providing essential support as they start a new life. Sponsors help refugees feel at home, guiding them with the resources they need to thrive. Anyone can be a sponsor — including you.
In the past year, thousands of Americans have stepped up, offering a bridge to safety and opportunity for families seeking refuge. Sponsors become neighbors, friends, and supporters for those rebuilding their lives in the U.S.

SPONSORSHIP REFUGEES WITH U4U PROGRAM

With the united efforts of U.S. citizens, green card holders and permanent residents who kindly agreed to become U4U Sponsors, we have been able to build the bridge between Ukraine and the USA.
