Help Cristina Renew Her DACA
Donation protected
Hi all!
My name is Gianna and I'm trying to raise money to help my best friend, Cristina, renew her DACA application. Cristina is a senior at Loyola University Chicago working towards a Bachelors in both History and Women and Gender Studies with a minor in Political Science. Cristina is the most hard-working and dedicated person I know and would never get herself to ask others for money so I decided to do it for her. Anyone that knows Cristina knows she is truly intelligent, caring, and passionate in so many ways. She has done so much for me over the 3 years we have been friends. I would do whatever I could to protect her and assist her in whatever she needs. DACA renewal is roughly around $495 along with $200 to pay for a lawyer. If by chance we exceed our fundraising goal, any extra funds will go towards Cristina's school fees or given to another undocumented person in need of renewal.
With our current administration, DACA renewal is extremely crucial and must be done as soon as possible. For context purposes, DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and essentially allows undocumented youth to obtain a work permit and documents necessary to work "legally" in the United States. Without DACA, my best friend, and so many other deserving undocumented folks, wouldn't have been able to obtain a college degree. DACA expires every two years and the renewal of the application is required to continue these benefits. Undocumented folks, regardless of education level, should be given the luxury of security and have their livelihoods respected and acknowledged.
If you are able, I would be grateful for the assistance in helping Cristina renew the program that she is reliant on to achieve her dream of becoming Cristina Nuñez Ph.D.
Thank you!
