As this pandemic is drawing out longer, KFAM’s financial needs continue to grow. We need not only to provide basic life essentials to our clients, but we need to ensure they also continue receiving critical direct services. If you are in a place where you can give back, we ask that you make a donation. This will allow us to keep our operations running smoothly, meet the increased demand in crisis services, and increase the number of clients to whom we provide flexible financial support. We do not know what the coming days and weeks may hold, but we do know that KFAM will work closely with our most vulnerable community members to keep them safe and healthy during this crisis.
We’re in this together. Please support KFAM.

Jonathan Schreiber
Through KFAM Counseling, I learned conflict resolution skills, stopped drinking, and made new friends. Counseling was like finding a good friend to talk to when I was lonely and sad. People go to the doctor when they have a cold, but in my culture, there is shame involved in seeing a therapist. I wish more Koreans could see it that way.

Over time the shattered pieces inside of us healed. With each passing day, I rediscovered more and more of myself. I started to notice a familiar woman in the mirror. I had always been there, but I had just needed some help and support.
Life Beyond Member
With my counselor’s help, I could see myself through someone else’s eyes. I finally understood. I saw a different person inside me, who loved myself and was always on my side. I saw that I was the only one who was so mean and negative to myself. I decided that I was the only one who could help myself. I want to change the way I thought and saw the world. I want to accept myself.

One thing I like about KFAM, is that they’re kind of like a one-stop shop. They’ll be there for you.

Message KFAM to receive a physical copy of "How to Report a Hate Crime," available in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. #kfamla
With the rise of hate incidents/crimes due to Covid-19 stigma toward the Asian community, this document outlines things you can do to protect yourself and how important it is to report any and all hate speech/incidents/crime.
The booklets have phrases in English you can point to when asking for help❤
