Joe Biden is under increasing pressure after vowing in 2021 to increase opportunities for Americans to resettle refugees. Donald Trump decimated the refugee program, which traditionally tasks nine resettlement agencies with placing refugees in communities.

The New Hampshire team has more than 60 members helping people like Walizada.To be sure, regular Americans have always helped resettle refugees, but not at this scale since the 1980 U.S. Refugee Act created the formal program, experts say.

“We just wanted to be able to do something and we have such a beautiful community here,″ said Darren Adwalpalker, pastor at Highland Park Community Church in Casper, who formed a group that sponsored three Ukrainians who arrived to the city of 60,000 in June.“Without private sponsorship, this would not have been possible for a lot of these communities with tremendous resources and goodwill to do this,” said Krista Kartson, who directs its refugee programs.

“We’ve got dentists working on their teeth. We have doctors seeing them. We have lawyers helping with their immigration paperwork.” Berkelhamer shuttled furniture to the family’s home and got them set up with computers and cellphones. Others got them bus passes.
