<div>February update:
</div>
<div>Through your amazing generosity and love for strangers together we have been able to help over 30 families with rent, legal fees and groceries.
</div>
<div>We helped a parent whose partner was detained and they were fearful of being able to pay rent in February and keep life as normal as possible for their 2 children.
</div>
<div>We helped an uncle take care of his 2 nieces while their mother is detained and moved from one state to another.
</div>
<div>We helped paid bond for a family to be reunited.
</div>
<div>All these families wished us blessings from God and I pass those blessings on to you and what you have done for people in Minnesota. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’d love to say we can close this go fund me but unfortunately the needs are still there. Families continue to reach out so if you are able to donate again and/or share we can continue to be a port in this storm for our neighbors. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Immigrant families in South Minneapolis are facing urgent legal and financial crises — often with little warning and limited support. When someone is detained, ordered to appear in immigration court, or suddenly at risk of losing housing or food, the costs can be immediate and overwhelming.
</div>
<div>This fund exists so neighbors can step in when systems fail.
</div>
<div>We are a community-based mutual aid effort raising funds to support immigrants in South Minneapolis who need immediate immigration legal assistance and emergency support during critical moments.
</div>
<div>What Your Donation Supports
</div>
<div>Immigration Legal Support
</div>
<div>    •    Immigration attorney fees
</div>
<div>    •    Court filing fees
</div>

</div>
<div>    •    Food

</div>
<div>How Funds Are Used
</div>
<div>This is a community-based mutual aid fund, not a nonprofit. Funds are managed using clear internal guidelines and are paid directly to attorneys, courts, bond offices, or trusted service providers whenever possible.
</div>

</div>
