I’m going to tell you about two of the bravest people I’ve ever met who weren’t even 10 years old.
Yadira* and Raul* were labor trafficked by their own father. They fled home and made the dangerous journey to the United States.
They’re funny, incredibly smart, and so full of life. I know this because they were my clients. And today, with Al Otro Lado’s support, they’re finally safe in the U.S. with their mom.
These children don’t need pity. They need someone willing to stand beside them in immigration court while they fight for the future they deserve.
Right now, we haven’t been paid under the government contract that funds legal representation for unaccompanied children. But we’re refusing to abandon them.
We’ll keep showing up for immigrant children. With your support, we can make sure they don’t have to face this fight alone.
Please, do these two things today:
1. Tell Congress to protect
#UnaccompaniedChildren. It is super easy and will take less than 2 minutes of your day. Link in bio
2. Support Al Otro Lado’s work. A gift today helps ensures kids like Yadira and Raul have an attorney standing beside them in immigration court. Link in bio
Immigrant kids are kids. We cannot and will not abandon them.
