💬 Meet Marco, a powerful example of how your solidarity transforms lives. When Marco, 16, reunited with his mother in the U.S. after nearly a decade apart, their joy was met with immediate challenges. Marco arrived from El Salvador with urgent dental issues and no school enrollment. His mother, working hard to secure a future for her family, faced mounting stress navigating complex systems alone. 💪 With guidance from Cindy, a case manager in our Family Reunification Program, Marco received critical dental care, school enrollment, and health insurance. His mother reflected, “Having someone guide us gave me relief and safety I couldn’t manage alone.” 💝 As our communities face more systemic barriers, collective action is essential. Join us in ensuring families like Marco’s find care, stability, and solidarity. Together, we build stronger futures. Support us at 🔗 https://buff.ly/418XCgz

💬 We want to introduce you to Ara and her young daughter, Bea. Ara, a single mother of five, and her six-year-old daughter Bea, diagnosed with nonverbal autism and epilepsy, came to the U.S. seeking safety and stability. But life as a newly arrived family presented countless barriers. Ara struggled with unpaid bills, language barriers, and accessing care for Bea, leaving her feeling dismissed and overwhelmed. 💪 When they connected with our Family Reunification Program, things shifted. With guidance from Tatiana, one of our amazing case managers, Ara secured eviction prevention support, utility assistance, and specialized care for Bea. Reflecting on her journey, Ara shared, “The program helped me defend my rights in the medical system and lose my fear of asking for help.” 💝 In this critical moment, solidarity matters. Together, we can stand with families like Ara’s. Learn more and join us: https://buff.ly/418XCgz

With no school enrollment, health care, or resources in place, his family faced significant hurdles—but they weren’t alone this time. 💪 Through our Family Reunification Program, Ricardo’s family received case management support tailored to their needs. From helping him enroll in school to accessing free counseling, our team worked closely with his mother to ensure a stable foundation. Reflecting on her journey, she said, “The case management support is a big help for parents like me.” 💝 Families like Ricardo’s need our collective care.
