Help Make Joy Bishara American

Donation protected
9 years after being kidnapped by terrorist group called Boko Haram, Joy has escaped the persecution of women and Christians in the Northern Nigeria. She has bravely escaped by jumping out of a moving truck. She has graduated High School in Oregon. Completed her bachelor and master’s degrees at Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida. She has met President Donald Trump, appeared in People magazine, Good Morning America, and spoken at the United Nations.

As of yet, she has not been granted permission to stay here in the US. She needs asylum to be able to stay and work in the United States. Please, help Joy do the one thing that matters to her most which is to get her Asylum to work and live in the United States. The next process after the Asylum is for her to get “Green Card” then citizenship.

What's stopping her?
The $4500 she needs to pay for the lawyer.
She doesn't want to ask anyone for so much money. So I'm asking on her behalf.

Please help Joy by kicking in $5 $10, $20 or anything to her legal fund. She has until the last week of August to file the long overdue application and the fees.

We've got a local, experienced lawyer who thinks she has a terrific chance of being granted asylum and US residency. Once accepted she will be able to start working. After that, she will be able to start working toward citizenship. Your financial support now will allow her to start supporting herself.

Joy needs:
$4500 for the basic legal fees

I know, you can't help everyone, but if God leads you to help, please let help Joy achieve this goal, thank you so much for the help and the support in advance. May God bless you and multiply your pockets.

Proverbs 11:25 The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped.
