Why You Should Partner With SAMU?

SAMU First Response, over 40 years of legacy of effective humanitarian aid, has identified critical needs through our close work with different populations. While our current emergency response programs offer essential services for migrants, the needs of this vulnerable population extend beyond the scope of our time-limited assistance.

Bearing witness to their stories, we recognize the imperative collaboration needed to expand our efforts. We seek your support to not only sustain, but also broaden our impact, to reach more individuals in the United States.

With your partnership, we can extend our compassionate assistance to areas where it is most needed, making a lasting difference in the lives of those seeking a chance for a better future.
