About PRUSA
Recognizing K1 Filipinas in abusive marriages were in need of both information about their immigration rights as well as top-notch legal assistance, two women from Davao decided to do something and created Pinay Rescue USA, Inc. (“PRUSA”). PRUSA not only connects Filipinas with an experienced attorney specializing in securing legal immigration status and permanent residency for abused Filipinas, it also provides need-based grants to help with the legal expense of securing their immigration status.
Core Mission
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation established to assist Filipinas who came to America to pursue their dream of marriage and a better life only to find themselves in abusive marriages. Our goal is to ensure these Filipinas are connected with superior legal representation from a highly qualified attorney and to assist with the cost associated with their representation. Everyone at Pinay Rescue USA, Inc. is a volunteer allowing us to apply 100% of each dollar donated toward funding the legal cost of rescuing an abused Filipina.
Passion
At Pinay Rescue USA, Inc. we connect abused Filipinas with superior legal representation who explain what their rights are, how they can obtain work authorization, how they can get government assistance without jeopardizing residency eligibility, and how they may obtain their permanent residency without relying upon their abusive spouse for assistance. Not having to rely upon an abusive spouse to obtain residency empowers Filipinas to break free from their abusive situation.
