Welcome to our fundraising page! We’re Holly & Atticus Garden, a mother-son duo from Columbus, OH, on a mission to raise $5,000 for our friends at Community Refugee and Immigration Services (CRIS), also right here in Columbus.

CRIS is currently helping 244 individuals in their first 90 days in the U.S. But just as these new arrivals begin their journey, a sudden stop-work order from the U.S. State Department threatens to halt the critical services they need. If this order sticks, funding for essential resettlement services—like housing, employment, and more—could vanish.

Juat like CRIS, we believe it is our moral obligation and responsibility as humans to continue providing services and support to these newly-arrived neighbors. But right now, we need the support of our incredible community to do this. CRIS is currently in the middle of a $100K in 100 Days campaign to launch the CRIS Enduring Welcome Fund, and every bit counts! Let’s ensure no one gets left behind—your donation makes a big difference!
