Right now, many Asian immigrant and refugee families, seniors, and youth are at risk of losing trusted care and support because of drastic funding cuts.

MARU has already lost $1.3M in critical funding—putting essential programs and community spaces at risk.

This AANHPI Heritage Month, you can take action to help protect what our community depends on.

Imagine you’re in a crisis and have nowhere to turn—facing language barriers, no insurance and a system that feels impossible to navigate.

Now imagine there is a place where you can speak your language, be understood, and have someone walk with you through what comes next.

That place is MARU.

MARU is a home, a trusted place where Asian families, seniors, and youth can access care, connection, and find belonging.

MARU is a trusted entry point into care—where language, culture, and community are not barriers, but the foundation.

At MARU, we offer

Multilingual assistance so people get healthcare, social services, and housing with dignity
Culturally responsive mental health and wellness support that centers people’s lived experience and promotes healing
Community spaces where people build connections, share stories, and celebrate their shared culture

We don’t just connect people to services.

We transform moments of fear and isolation into pathways of trust and connection.

Without immediate support, some of these services may be reduced or no longer available in the same way—leaving families, seniors, and youth without trusted places to turn.

Will you help ensure MARU remains a place where no one has to face hardship alone?

Your support directly powers real, immediate impact.
