Refugees United was touching!

Refugees United is one of the best ideas I've heard about as far as helping others. I couldn't imagine losing my family. The fact of not knowing is what would kill me and these hundreds of thousands of refugees are experiencing this issue. It is very depressing to witness these families in lonely conditions without family members. The one woman's husband was murdered, and she had no idea where her children were and there was nothing that she could do about it. Now with Refugees United, there is hope for her and other refugees in her situation. One of the brothers said, "Family is what roots us." This line is so true, and that is why these refugees are motivated to continue because they long to know what happened to their families. Life in poverty is difficult enough, but life in poverty without your family is much worse. I am glad this organization has been created!

  1. I agree this organization is a miracle. It is impossible to compare to what they are going through but one thing is obvious, these people would do anything to be with their families and this organization makes that a possibility.

  2. Refugees United is a very good idea as it will help refugees find loved ones and finally give them some semblance of hope as they wait for a response.

  3. Yeah it really is hard for us to imagine what it's like to go without family because over here families are always together and nothing normally causes us to separate, but hopefully this whole system will change that idea for the people down there.

  4. "family is what roots us" that line stuck out to me as well. Family is the one thing that everyone in the world has and is the people we care most for. For the families to be missing is horrible. Refugee United is a great organization for finding families.
