Support St. Paul City School's Families Targeted by ICE

The longstanding Doing Amazing Magic from Nothing Foundation, which actively supports St. Paul City School, is currently fundraising to support families who have been directly impacted by recent ICE operations in our cities. Our school serves nearly 600 students, and over half of our students and their families are living in fear right now.

Today, more than ever, our students and families are relying on us—and to continue fulfilling this vital mission, we need your help. Your donations will support our Emergency Family Assistance Fund, which we use to meet family basic needs that are in crisis that cannot be met via traditional channels. The list below are some examples of situations that we have provided funds for families in need and hope to continue the work:

  • $540 - Processing fees for green cards
  • $1,440 - Adjustment of Immigration Status Fees
  • $175 - Weekly groceries for a family of 5 without access to food
  • $300 - Utilities payments for families unable to pay their utility bills for a month
  • $1,300 - Rental assistance for families unable to pay rent for a month
  • $150/night - Emergency hotel for families that lost their home that are waiting for temporary housing
  • $50 - Gas for a week

“St. Paul City School has been a major support to myself and my four children. As a single mom, it has been very hard for me to provide the necessities that my children need for success in their education. The school’s Emergency Assistance Fund has helped me tremendously by paying for internet services and a laptop so that I can pursue a college degree. The school has even helped me pay for the processing fees of birth certificates for my children and myself. Thanks to St. Paul City School, me and my children are on a better path to success and we are thankful for having been welcomed into this community that feels like family. - St. Paul City School Parent
