We are a group of neighbors from the Greater Longfellow neighborhoods working to provide direct financial support to meet the urgent needs of families across our neighborhood and the surrounding metro region. We aim to support families who are in crisis as a result of the current occupation by federal immigration enforcement agents and their indiscriminate activities in Minnesota.

Please donate to help keep families in their homes this winter by directly supporting their housing expenses. Many individuals have not been able to work because it has become unsafe for them to leave their homes for fear of being detained. Others, such as small business owners, have lost their livelihood due to their main clientele being fearful to come out to their businesses.

For the sake of privacy and safety, those receiving funds must remain anonymous. We take care of each other, we keep each other safe, and we do so with love at the forefront.

How are families identified?

Families and other vulnerable neighbors are identified through trusted community networks. To protect families, we do not publicly share identifying details.

How do I know my donation is being used to support families?

Beneficiaries are vouched for by community members who know them personally or referred through existing support networks.

What will happen with remaining funds, if there are any?

Funds are intended for ongoing financial relief and will roll over month to month. In the event that financial relief is no longer a pressing need, we will redirect remaining funds toward established organizations and support efforts in the community doing the same work in a long-term, non-emergent manner. GoFundMe donors will be informed of any changes.

Is this a long-term program?

This fund is designed to address immediate needs as they arise. While the fund may continue as long as needs persist, it is not a replacement for systemic solutions or public responsibility.

We will share general updates about the number of folks supported, and how funds are being used. We do not keep or publish recipient details.
