A separated family needs our support:

We are raising funds to support a woman and her 10 year old daughter from Honduras. Thelma was separated from her child at the border in June of 2018 and reunited in NYC, where they currently live. After a harrowing experience, they need our support to rebuild their lives. 

After their access to housing with family ended last month, we have secured temporary housing for them in the Bronx, close to the child's school, for the month of March. We are raising funds for this and the many other things they need to navigate this difficult moment in their lives. Together & Free  and Faith Communities Reuniting Families  have joined forces to work with Thelma and her daughter.

We have the opportunity to help them feel safe, cared for, and welcome here. Please consider donating to this fund – all of which goes DIRECTLY to the family. Funds help with living expenses such as clothing, food, laundry, transportation to appointments, toys, books and school supplies for the children. Here is what each amount donated will go for:

$75 – a week of groceries for the family of 2

$100 – clothes and shoes for the child for the spring season

$52 – laundry for a month at the local laundromat

$80 – metrocard for Thelma to take her daughter to and from school and get to immigration and legal appointments

$50 – school books for the 10 year old
