Your opportunity - give urgent support to a family

Yoga en Español Fundraiser and Celebration! (HYBRID)

Sunday, August 7

11:30-1 pm ET

$25 suggested donation — pay what you can, donate as much as you want.

Join us for another Yoga en Español fundraiser co-sponsored by Elevate Education Consulting and Willow Street Yoga, and hosted by María Elena Montero.

We are raising money to help our friends Julio & Milagro and their two children Belén (7) and Axel (almost 3). Their asylum case has made good progress and they are working with a wonderful lawyer. We raised over $5000 last year, enough to pay for legal fees through 2021 and we helped them get caught up on their rent. THANK YOU, EVERYONE!

For the next stage of their case, they need to pay the lawyer $7500 for the work he is doing on their cases, with $2950 of that due by November.

Suggested donation for the 1.5-hour class & celebration is $25 — give more if you can to help us reach our goal! Register here.

This lovely and loving family, Julio and Milagro (parents) and Belén and Axel (children), need your help to avoid being sent back to Honduras where they face grave danger.

In their home country, they were victims of gang intimidation over a period of years. Ultimately, Julio was subjected to torture, forcing them to flee for their lives to the US where they have applied for asylum. Julio and Milagro are doing everything possible to give their two bright and beautiful children a safe and healthy upbringing.
