I have 4 children of my own, and I would move mountains for them.

I am a teacher in a community populated by, mostly, first and second generation immigrants. And, when you teach from your heart, you learn to listen. I listened.

I wanted to give back to people who are trying to make a new future.

Everyone who comes to this country in search of new life and beginning should be able to do so without fear.

I am the daughter of refugees that escaped Hungary as children. They met here and I wouldn’t be here if they hadn’t escaped.

I am the great granddaughter of Mexican immigrants. People should be free to seek a better life for their families, it’s a natural instinct.

America was built by immigrants to become what it is today. It excluded the Indigenous people who were here. As a woman of color who considers myself a humanist, I believe in the inherent goodness of all people.

I’m a daughter of an immigrant. It has shaped who I am as a person today.

Donating to RAICES is one of the easiest ways to take action against the horrid mistreatment of refugees.

I’m Jewish. I don’t like to see anyone in cages or told they don’t belong somewhere. No human is illegal.

I hope these funds will help reunite families and keep people out of camps.

I am a proud first-generation Salvadorian-American on the road to becoming an immigration attorney.

I know how much of a difference it can make in someone’s life to be able to live here in the U.S. and have all of the opportunities we are grateful to have.

I moved to this country when I was 9 months old. My parents made the tough decision to leave their home country to give us a better life.

I just want immigrants to be given a fair chance and treated humanely.

I used to live and work in the Rio Grande Valley, and I saw many ways in which our immigration policies failed those seeking help and, in turn, failed U.S. citizens.

I am an immigrant, and I don’t approve of the way people and children are treated at the border.

I was an undocumented immigrant. The different between myself and the children in cages is that I came in 31 years before they did.

I believe in the mission of RAICES because I believe in community and famila.

Immigrants who are coming to America need a better way to have their concerns heard. There needs to be a speedier, more fair process. They need humane care.

Because I care. Treatment of immigrants by the U.S. is disgraceful.

I feel like the plight of immigrants is not enough on people’s minds these days amid all the other concerns we have to contend with.

I’m a mother and a woman, and I feel connected to the plight of refugees seeking safety.

Both of my paternal grandparents immigrated here with hopes of better work and a better future for them and the family they created together.

I was granted asylum not long ago, and I admire the work that organizations like yours put towards helping immigrants coming to this nation.

I’m the daughter of two immigrant parents, and I’ve had the privilege of being an American citizen my whole life.

I do not have a direct connection to the cause, other than being a fellow air-breathing carbon-based life form who wants to share in the wonders of this world.

There is no justification for our heinous crimes against humanity occurring at our borders and detention centers.

The little family I have escaped pogroms in Russia. There are family members I will never even know who were lost in the Holocaust. Never again means never again.

By the luck of birth, my citizenship is American. By choice, proudly and culturally Mexican. I am aghast at the current treatment of immigrants and asylum seekers.

My family ran from danger—danger often caused by U.S. involvement—in search of a better life.

As someone who could have used the services provided by RAICES at one time. I am thrilled to see that this organization exists now.
