Law School Events
[PAST EVENT] Afghan Refugee Donation Campaign
Access & Features
- Open to the public
Stop by law school lobby and say hi to us. We are accepting donations every week day. Also, if you are unable to donate a physical item we have flyers of four organizations helping refugees in our local area. Each of these organizations have been vetted and we provide the QR code to go directly to their site. You can also support the W&M Immigration Law Clinic at: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-afghans-seeking-safety-in-hampton-roads
The Clinic is working with individuals in Hampton Roads to help their family members who are trying to come to the United States from Afghanistan by filing applications for Humanitarian Parole, which would allow them to live safely in the United States while they apply for another kind of visa to stay permanently.
