Adopt A Refugee Family vs. Help Iraq
As of 2022, the Adopt a Refugee Family (AARF) program is separate and independent from the “Help Iraq” organization as we continue to stay focused and committed to help the poor and disadvantaged refugee families on monthly basis. AARF still coordinates all humanitarian efforts very closely with our Chaldean Diocese.
Lebanon Updates
Currently the AARF program supports 425-450 refugee families a month as the situation in Lebanon has gone from bad to worse due to financial collapse of the currency while the country is still struggling to recover from the port explosion, and unstable political climate, also the recent circumstances that the country is going through effected by the war in the Middle East. On a positive note, the aid we are sending to each family is extending much farther to provide for them as the Lebanese Lira has devalued.
Jordan and Iraq Updates
While we have been ready and able to help more refugees in these countries, it has been extremely difficult to find a reliable organization to receive and distribute the aid transparently. It is important to note that the US Homeland Security closely monitors all wires, and we continue to look for opportunities to help our refugees in those two countries.
Our Program
Since 2006, the Adopt A Refugee Family program has been successfully working with the Jesuits in Jordan and Lebanon to aid these refugees. There are many ways to HELP our cause. 100% of your donations go directly to a family in dire need of help and hope.

A Note About Account Management
Attention donors: The Adopt A Refugee Family (AARF) Committee in consultation with our Diocese has decided to utilize the funds sitting in our AARF account to earn as much interest as possible while waiting to be wired to our refugees; therefore we are putting our funds in either CD or money market.
