Become a Bridge Builder today, for tomorrow
Bridge Builders are people just like you – people who believe that refugees and asylum seekers have a right to a safe place to live and safe way to get there.
As a Bridge Builder, you make it possible for people in crisis to receive free, immediate legal support the moment they need it. Your monthly generosity gives refugees and asylum seekers a lifeline as they seek safety from persecution, work toward permanent residency, rebuild their lives free from family violence, and reunite with the family they’ve been separated from.
Having access to a free lawyer was one of the most important supports. Our family has been under immense financial strain trying to support our family in a conflict zone so being able to access free immigration legal assistance has been imperative. [TRLS] has provided specialised support and I’m truly grateful for this help - it gave me hope and a new life.
Refugees and asylum seekers are often between countries; between legal statuses; between danger and safety. Many spend years in limbo, waiting for a resolution that never comes quickly enough. Bridge Builders allow us to step into that uncertain space – to work between systems, cultures, and futures – and walk with them over those agonising years.
