Dear Friend,

Encountering with compassion.

Creating a sense of hope and belonging.

Documenting stories that show just how much the incredible people in our community undertake – and keeping those records of truth for history.

These are just some of the reasons why our generous supporters give to Migrants of the Mediterranean (MotM). For this upcoming season that starts today, with Thanksgiving in the US and the official launch of our 5th Annual Holiday Fundraiser, we will be sharing more of the reasons why people like you support the work of Humanitarian Storytelling.

Over the next six weeks you’ll see some of our top accomplishments in 2023. We’ll show you more of the heart and deep compassion that happens behind the scenes – all of the details that bring you the finished Journey Stories you see on the site today. It is truly in these moments of connection that the bonds of trust we forge with our friends in the migrant community happen.

Finally, we’ll tell you about our new developments, so you can see just how special our method of Humanitarian Storytelling is, that’s different from anything else you’ll see. The community we have created is a testament to the unique and enduring power of our work – and what’s more, we are just getting started.

We invite you to visit us on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn, where we’re sharing new stories and insights to keep you inspired this season.

We are thankful for every incredible person we work with in our migrant community.

We are thankful for the space to share their stories with you, whose heart has always spilled open with care and attention.

And because our work would not be possible without that compassion, that love, that open mind you bring to MotM that enables the stories we tell to become a part of you – we are thankful for you.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Wishing you a great season ahead,


The Migrants of the Mediterranean team
