“My family and I left our country with one suitcase.” Today, Ihsan is helping other refugee families build new beginning
Thrive Community Lending

Nov 6

“My family and I left our country with one suitcase.” Today, Ihsan is helping other refugee families build new beginnings. After receiving resettlement support from Inspiritus, Ihsan now serves as an Economic Empowerment Coach in Birmingham, helping refugee families find employment and work toward financial independence. In September, he traveled to Washington, D.C., for @Globalrefuge Annual Advocacy Summit, sharing his firsthand experience with Senate office staff and advocating for refugee families. “The help my family received gave us a chance to rebuild our lives. Now, through my work and advocacy, I hope to help other families have that same opportunity.” From receiving support to helping others thrive, Ihsan’s story shows the power of opportunity. ❤️ #Inspiritus #GlobalRefuge #FromSurvivingToThriving
