Healing begins here.
Mending Together equips everyday people with the tools, confidence, and compassion to support refugees and others who have experienced trauma.
“Healing is never one-way. When we mend together with refugees, we discover the interconnectedness of our collective healing. Ordinary hands can carry extraordinary hope.
Mending Together exists to bridge the relational gap between ordinary, everyday people and refugees. Come along on this journey of mending together!"
- CHRIS AND MARCUS, CO-FOUNDERS
Our mission
To equip communities of everyday people to meet the mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of all people who have been displaced.
Our impact
Since 2022, more than 180 refugees and caregivers worldwide have accessed our programs over 500 times for ongoing support.
Healing happens in community
Healing happens most deeply in the presence of others.
At Mending Together, we believe that safe, compassionate relationships create space for people to process grief, share burdens, and rediscover hope.
Because healing is not meant to be a solitary journey—it is something we experience together.
Voices from the healing journey
Partnering with Mending Together offered a great opportunity for us to learn about cross-cultural work and trauma-informed care so that we could ultimately be the good neighbors to the refugees who live in our community.
-Rev. mikayla, calvary moravianBecause of the help I received from Mending Together, I was able to focus on healing from war trauma and grief of leaving my family behind. Now, I use the tools I learned to help new refugees transition and resettle.
-mohammad*, syrian refugeeI never thought I would experience secondary trauma or burnout simply from working with refugees! Mending Together helped me realize my own wellbeing needs. Their work is important work to those of us in the field.
-makhtab*, afghan womens activistA friend connected me with Mending Together when I was fleeing my home country. Without their support, I don’t think I could have managed the cultural transition process on my own. I am grateful for Mending Together.
