Jeni Dodd and I are traveling to Albuquerque, NM July 5-18 to help begin the large case load created by the most recent "zero tolerance" policy at the US Border. 
We will specifically be working with children and transgender detainees at Cibola County Detention Center in Grants, NM. 
We are volunteering through the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center (NMILC ) 
I will be driving from MS and will meet Jeni in Dallas, TX. We will drive the rest of the way to Albuquerque. 
We are willing to pay for the entire trip ourselves, but we have had requests from family and friends about how they could help with the journey. 
Our entire trip will cost us roughly $3750 for the 14 days. 
We are trying to minimize costs by driving instead of renting a car and staying in Airbnb accommodations to avoid having to rent two rooms. 
Anything that is not spent directly on trip costs or is above and beyond the goal will be donated to New Mexico Immigrant Law Center in Albuquerque. 
We appreciate any help you are willing to offer! All funds will go directly to defray travel expenses and then will be donated directly to NMILC.
