COVID-19 Response: Support Migrant Families
Tax deductible
Migrant youth and their families are experiencing intensified stresses and new traumas as our country- and the entire world- work to contain the novel coronavirus. With more and more of our migrant communities in New York City experiencing unemployment, housing insecurity, and hunger—many families are restricted to their homes and limited in their social interactions. The health, economic, and social impacts of this pandemic are going to be experienced differently by every migrant community, and these experiences are going to profoundly shape the lives and educational experiences of children and youth within those communities for long after the health crisis abates.
Glasswing's COVID response in New York City focuses on critical areas of support, including access to technology for remote learning, outreach to high-priority students and families, and access to virtual social connections and social-emotional supports. When parents’ and other caregivers’ needs are met, children are more likely to receive sensitive and responsive care. Protecting adults’ mental and physical health is an effective strategy for promoting children’s well-being during and after a pandemic. We believe action in these areas is critical.
Our work in underserved populations continues to address these inequities by delivering families with cash assistance. Glasswing is launching this fundraising campaign with a goal of $5,000 to help mitigate some of the financial burdens our families are experiencing. Every dollar of your donation will directly go towards the costs of covering basic needs.
Glasswing International was founded in 2007 on the belief that every child deserves a community that believes in them. We have empowered communities across Latin America, the Caribbean, and New York City to address the root causes of poverty and violence so that children and future generations can thrive. With over 10 years of experience in the field of humanitarian aid and response, we are uniquely positioned and hold the proper skill-set to serve our families in need during this global health crisis.
