Only 10 days to go until Arizona Gives Day! 👏

Since 2013, Arizona Gives Day has raised over $47 million to support more than 2,000 nonprofits across our state—and this year, you can be part of that impact.

On Tuesday, April 7, your generosity can help change lives. Join us for Arizona’s largest online day of giving and stand with refugees—both those rebuilding their lives here in Arizona, and those still waiting for safety in refugee camps across Africa, including Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda.

Your support brings hope, dignity, and opportunity to families no matter where they are on their journey.

Mark your calendar. Spread the word. Be the change. 🙏

Advocating, supporting, and showing up—every single day. 💪 Our founder works tirelessly for refugees, even those outside Arizona. Here he is last weekend helping a family with immigration paperwork and job applications. The man truly never stops!

We recently received this incredibly sweet note from a client, thanking us for the support we provided during a difficult time. Moments like these remind us why we do this work.

This work is needed. It’s important. It’s vital to our refugee neighbors who are navigating unique challenges and rebuilding their lives. Every day, we see the impact that compassion, community, and consistent support can make.

Your generosity helps ensure that no one has to face these moments alone. Donations allow us to continue showing up, meeting real needs, and making a lasting difference—one person, one family at a time.

As a reminder, your donation is tax-deductible and directly supports the individuals and families we serve. Thank you for believing in this work and standing with our community. 💙

This story is incredible!!

“For Dale, success came in identifying something that he brought to the table, trusting God to use it to benefit the Kingdom, and taking the step needed to allow this resource to be put to use.”

What might you have, or what can you do, that God might be able to use to bless your neighbors through you?

If you’re looking for a super easy, last-minute way to spread some holiday cheer, please consider donating a gift card to a refugee family in need. Every little bit makes a big difference. Our Amazon wishlist is below! https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/3ONE9FY9RJTPK?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_ggr-subnav-share_11GBB5Q1PQAP6Y7BEGK1_2&fbclid=IwY2xjawOoFP5leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFXcEg2anRVR2xXakpzTHlqc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHjepMroyL06LaHIXWEXBjFsHlP71HxOPmdC67zlIfys-NTMpckcqC-NYUVrC_aem_C7J-GCOqjuXQTm3l2YHBZA

Displacement often removes people’s usual roles and control over their lives (jobs lost, homes gone, decisions forced). Having meaningful choices supports restoration of self-agency, which is linked to better mental health.

When you donate a gift card to a refugee family this Christmas, you’re not just giving money — you’re giving choice. Refugee parents have often lost everything — their homes, communities, and even the ability to provide for their children in the way they once could. A gift card gives them the dignity of choosing a present themselves — the right toy, warm clothes, or even something that reminds them of home. It restores a small but powerful sense of normalcy and agency during the holidays.

We made it easy to donate to refugees this Christmas! Click on our Amazon wishlist below to have a gift card sent directly to our founder, who will then hand-deliver them to refugee families in need this holiday season. THANK YOU for helping your refugee neighbors!!

🚗 Why Do We Offer Driving Lessons?
Because in Phoenix, being able to drive isn’t just convenient — it’s life-changing. Here’s why:

1️⃣ Phoenix is built for driving.
Our city is incredibly spread out. Jobs, grocery stores, and essential services are miles apart — and many delivery or gig jobs require your own transportation.

2️⃣ Public transportation is limited.
Buses and light rail only reach certain areas, run infrequently at night or on weekends, and often mean long waits and multiple transfers.

3️⃣ The heat — and the streets — make walking unsafe.

Phoenix regularly hits 110–115°F in summer, making long walks and bus waits dangerous. And in many neighborhoods, walking isn’t just uncomfortable — it can be unsafe due to crime, especially when you’re on foot and more vulnerable.

4️⃣ Lack of transportation causes isolation.
Without a car, it’s harder to stay connected, attend events, make friends, or be part of the community — and relying on others for rides takes a toll.

5️⃣ Many essential resources are difficult to access.
📍 Doctor & specialist appointments
📍 Food banks
📍 Libraries
📍 Clothing banks
📍 Language-learning centers
…and so many more services people need to survive and thrive.

When you support our driving program, you’re not just helping someone earn a license — you’re giving them freedom, safety, and opportunity.

Greatness in the Kingdom looks like quiet, faithful service. No act of love is too small when done in Christ’s name.

Huge thanks to an Eagle Scout in Surprise who made it possible for 11 refugees to receive bicycles! 🚲

These bikes are more than transportation—they’re a way to get to work and school, stay connected, and access essential resources. Reliable mobility can change lives, and this donation will do exactly that.

Thank you for supporting NER!
