*Update* - To date we have given out over 300,000 in assistance for rent and food to families in our community. Because of the constant ice presence and hundreds of abductions in our city, including 8 children from our schools, many have gone months without leaving their homes or being able to work. The devastation on our local economy, small businesses, and families is exponentially growing. We currently have over 1 million dollars in aid requests and we know those numbers will continue to increase. We couldn't possibly begin to meet this need without your help. Thank you so much for standing with us in this time! *

Families in our neighborhood are being impacted by the raids happening in our community. Kids in our schools have lost parents, and families are trying to pay rent and buy food and get transportation while missing their main income earner because they were taken.

Columbia Heights is a generous community that takes care of each other. This fundraiser will be used to support families who reach out to our local schools, churches, and community organizations looking for help after a parent is detained, and donations will be distributed directly to the families in need.
