Op-Ed: Immigrants can revive cities and towns across America
Dear Friends of RAMP,
Thank you for being a supporter of RAMP. We are sure you have heard that there is now an indefinite hold on the refugee resettlement and placement program.
While we are unsure what the future will bring, RAMP is currently supporting a refugee mother and daughter from El Salvador. In a few weeks, we will be welcoming a family of four who arrived in November from Afghanistan. These two families will be with RAMP for at least the next 12 to 15 months. We look forward to supporting them in their journey.

‘We need to take a closer look at what immigrants contribute to America’
In New Jersey, where one in four residents are immigrants, it’s hardly surprising that there would be “on the ground” forces at work. In Morris County, for example, a small nonprofit, RAMP, aims to do what New York is doing on a lesser scale.

In Memory of Leo J. Rogers, Jr.
With sadness, we share the obituary of Leo Rogers, one of RAMP's original members and one of its most active and dedicated.
"I feel blessed to have had Leo as a friend. RAMP volunteers and families were blessed to have had his wisdom, his passion, and his humor. I extend our wishes for peace and comfort to the family and all who miss him."

Hussain, his wife, Arifa, and their three children were settled in Boonton after fleeing the Taliban. Sponsorship from one of the refugee agencies had expired after a few months and RAMP was able to step up to provide additional services that improved the family's foundation for independence and job stability.
