Client Success: John’s Asylum Victory

In June 2024, John (name changed) won his asylum case, a significant milestone after enduring years of trauma and persecution. As a child, John was brutally assaulted at the age of nine, and his cries for help went unanswered by the authorities in his home country. Later, as an openly gay man, he faced further persecution from government officials. The impact of these experiences deeply affected John’s mental health and well-being.

Once he arrived in the United States and to the East Bay, our legal team provided crucial legal and emotional support, using trauma-informed care to help John share his story. With the support of our psychologist and resource specialist, John’s mental health needs were addressed, and his progress was shared with the court, contributing to his successful case outcome. John’s victory highlights the power of our comprehensive, compassionate support for asylum seekers.
