We are a champion for kids in an immigration system not designed to treat them as children, by helping ensure that their best interests come first.
We are truly Thankful 🤍 To each and everyone of you who gave a gift and uplifted our call for donations, THANK YOU!
Your thoughtful contributions help us respond with clarity and compassion to ensure immigrant children and their families remain safe, supported, and free!

No child should have to face our nation’s complex immigration system alone.
So, see how our programs play a key role in ensuring children who arrive to the U.S. alone have a community in their corner to defend their rights, safety, and well-being.
