“CIS-NYC has been our anchor in an unknown place as immigrants. CIS-NYC has been a lighthouse in the midst of confusion. Although New York City is diverse, it can be very difficult for an immigrant family, especially an undocumented family; Cabrini has given us the opportunity to belong here.”

“Cabrini is not only helping me accomplish my educational goals, but they are helping other people, too. For instance, my wife saw that it is possible for an undocumented student to have a degree in the U.S., and is now going to college this semester for Paralegal Studies with the support of the Angel Fund at Cabrini.”

“Cabrini is very special to me because it was the first organization where I became a volunteer, where I found a lot of inspiration to do the work that my husband and I do for our community. It’s a friendly face, it’s an ear that was there when I needed it most. It was the first party with Santa for my son and today it is still the helping hand that extends and helps empower me to now empower others. Go to Cabrini, they will listen to you. If Cabrini doesn’t have the service you’re looking for, they will guide you to where you need to go.”

“I have become Cabrini and Cabrini has become me because I believe so deeply in the work. Cabrini is not only an organization that is helping immigrants, but one that is helping all of us to have a stronger faith, regardless of our faith. The message that we send is: we try to give you love, we try to give you hope, and we also try to give you information and resources that will enable you to survive.”

“This is an organization that supports immigrants and so I feel safe, and comfortable. I feel at home. Cabrini is my family; they have embraced and supported me. They’ve never given up on me and have always found a way to help me navigate my way through difficult situations in this country. Thank you for the opportunities you have given me as an immigrant, and your support to me as an adolescent, to continue my education.”
