A 58-year-old grandmother from Wisconsin, McAnany spends her days teaching soft skills classes to adults and spending time with her family. Outside the classroom, however, she\u2019s taken on a role that\u2019s helping people in a big way: serving as a humanitarian parole sponsor and personally taking on the financial responsibility of supporting families fleeing from persecution, violence, and instability.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2023, McAnany has welcomed 17 migrants\u201411 adults and six children through the CHNV humanitarian parole program, which allows individuals and families from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to live and work temporarily in the United States with the support of an approved sponsor. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone has their own views and perspectives, but every person I sponsored is thriving and doing well here,\u201d McAnany said.<\/p>\n<p>McAnany didn\u2019t know any of the parolees before sponsoring them, but she had a commitment to helping families from Venezuela specifically, hoping to reunite them with their families who were already living in the United States. After \u201cpraying a lot along the way\u201d and communicating with the applicants through WhatsApp, she decided to apply as a sponsor and help them settle into the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a bedroom and a bathroom in my basement,\u201d McAnany says. \u201cMy door is open and will always be open for any of the people I sponsored, if they ever have a need for housing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image image-crop-3x2\">\n<figure class=\"rkv-rebelmouse\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/good-worldwide.go-vip.net\/qa-upworthy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/origin-78150.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption>Sandrau2019s granddaughter, Eu2019s daughter, and another friend at an indoor park (July 2025)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>                        <\/p>\n<p>At the time, McAnany decided to volunteer as a sponsor to make friends and help other people through hardship. Now, her mission has grown: Seeing how humanitarian parole programs have changed her parole beneficiaries\u2019 lives\u2014as well as her own\u2014for the better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Humanitarian parole: A long history <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Humanitarian parole programs are nothing new. Since 1952, both Democratic and Republican administrations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/humanitarian\/humanitarian_parole\" target=\"_blank\"><u>have used humanitarian parole to provide a safer, lawful pathway for noncitizens<\/u><\/a> to enter and live temporarily in the United States. In recent years, through different programs, people from Afghanistan, Ukraine, Cuba, Haiti, and other countries have been able to come to the U.S. to escape urgent crises in their own countries, such as political instability or war. <\/p>\n<p>Coming to the United States through humanitarian parole is no easy feat. The process has its own strict criteria and involves extensive applications and vetting for both beneficiaries and their sponsors. Parolees don\u2019t need to qualify for any other immigration benefit like asylum, but they need to meet the standard for humanitarian parole and successfully pass vetting requirements.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refugeesinternational.org\/perspectives-and-commentaries\/setting-the-record-straight-on-chnv\/\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Refugees International<\/u><\/a>, 532,000 people have been granted parole through the CHNV program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A life-changing experience<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From the moment she met her first parole beneficiaries at the airport\u2014two families \u2014McAnany already knew it would be a life-changing experience. \u201cIt immediately felt like family, like we were lifelong friends,\u201d she said. But she could also sense that it was a culture shock for the parolees. On the way home from the airport, McAnany pulled into a nearby McDonald&#8217;s and encouraged them to order dinner. Hearing the word \u201cBig Mac,\u201d the families smiled in recognition. <\/p>\n<p>Despite the culture shock, McAnany\u2019s parole beneficiaries had to adapt quickly to life in the United States. Once they were settled, McAnany worked \u201cnonstop\u201d to help the families acclimate to their new lives, answering questions about school and vaccinations while also helping them create resumes, search for jobs, and find English classes online.<\/p>\n<p><span><\/span>It was through this process that McAnany realized just how resilient people could be, and was amazed \u201cnot only how hard it was for individuals to leave their loved ones behind, but the amount of work they did to come to the country and remain here.\u201d McAnany also realized how fortunate she was to have her own family living nearby. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine any one of us leaving a country and being apart for an unknown length of time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, and as circumstances changed\u2014one of the parolees found a new job in another city, for example, and was able to move out. But no matter the length of time they spent with each other, McAnany says that with every parolee they formed a bond built for life. One woman, who she refers to as \u2018E,\u2019 has even become \u201clike an adopted daughter.\u201d McAnany has traveled to Georgia, where E now lives, three times to visit her. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Uncertain ground: What\u2019s next for humanitarian parole programs <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite being a critical part of immigration policy in the United States for the last 73 years, humanitarian parole programs are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/news\/2025\/06\/12\/dhs-issues-notices-termination-chnv-parole-program-encourages-parolees-self-deport\" target=\"_blank\"><u>under threat<\/u><\/a>.
