A job, a license and how you can help!

Masooma and Ali continue to seek out employment and have had some success! Ali started a new job this week.  He is in training and learning quickly.

In addition, the family now also has a licensed driver!  This past week Ali passed his drivers license exam. 
Congratulations Ali!
                                                      
While this progress is promising there are still needs that we can help to fill for our new friends.  

 

  1. Ali needs a computer.  His current computer is very old and does not function well which does not allow him to effectively search for employment or to keep up with his journalism work.  Do you have a Mac computer you would be willing to donate?  Macbook’s are best for video editing and are preferred.

  2. Transportation continues to be one of our greatest needs.  Do you have a few hours during the week where you could provide the family with transportation to work, to run errands etc?    

  3. Ali started in a new job this week but both he and Masooma will continue to seek out additional opportunities.  If you'd like to learn more about their qualifications and the kinds of jobs for which they search, you can click here to read about Masooma and here to read about Ali.  Please let us know If you have job leads or connections in Bucks County that could lead to employment for our friends.  

  4. Do you have a friend or family member who is a dentist?  We are looking for a dentist who would be open to working with our new friends.
     

If you are willing to donate a laptop, can help with transportation, have job leads or a connection to a dentist please click here to send us a note.  We are grateful for this loving community.

Faith Reflection

“We’re here for a little window.  And to use that time to catch and share shards of light and laughter and grace seems to me the great story.”

- Lighten Up, from Brian Doyle

Our interfaith community grounds our work in the teachings of our diverse traditions. Each meeting of BCICRR begins with a reading or reflection from a member of the community. We share one of them here.

WHO WE ARE

Bucks County Interfaith Coalition for Refugee Resettlement (BCICRR) was founded in 2016 as an all-volunteer group working together to support two Syrian families. 

​

In 2022, the organization began sponsoring an Afghan family of six as they resettled in Bucks County.  Another Afghan family arrived in March 2025.  The BCICRR coalition is made up of Christians, Jews, Muslims, and others who have come together to provide friendship, practical assistance, and financial support for these families.  Along the way we have become an extended family, supporting and learning from one another.
