Shores for All

Shores for All was founded by clinicians who saw the need to make immigration evaluations accessible for those who can potentially benefit the most from this type of support, including asylum seekers and victims of domestic abuse. The founders also took note that most migrants who could benefit from therapy were unable to access it due to cost and linguistic barriers. Shores for All, a fiscally sponsored project of Humanitarian Social Innovations, seeks to make these important services less cost prohibitive. Donations enable us to fully fund evaluations and therapy for migrants who would face the most severe hardships, including exploitation or persecution, in their countries of origin. Other individuals benefit from receiving high-quality services at a low cost. In many cases, asylum-seekers and other migrants have no physical proof of the violence, abuse, or persecution which they have fled. Attempts to receive protection from local law enforcement often lead nowhere, such that there is no paper trail of the injustices that many migrants have faced. Immigration-related evaluations fill this gap. An analysis of outcomes has shown that having an evaluation completed increases the likelihood of winning one's case from 42% to 82%. For every $800 raised, a high-risk migrant will receive a complete evaluation to support their legal case. Donors can also specify if they would like to donate to our general counseling or ESL funds, Tax-deductible donations can be made here: https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/MjI1OTcw
