Revisiting Miry's List founder's mission to help refugees feel safe in LA

  • Summary

  • In 2016, Miry Whitehill answered a call from a friend who asked if Whitehill had a baby chair she could donate to a Syrian family who had just moved to California. Thinking on her feet, Whitehill made a list of items this family needed in order to get settled in their new home, posted the list to social media and, soon after, the Miry’s List nonprofit was born. Host Giselle Fernandez revisits her conversation with Whitehill, who has been able to help more than 600 families get settled in the U.S. through crowdsourcing and social media. Miry’s List is now serving refugee families in as many as 17 states, but Whitehill says California is leading the way in resettlement.
