In December 2018, I visited El Paso, Texas, to help refugees from Central America establish new, safe lives in the United States. I’m feeling pulled back for another three-week trip, and I need your help with transportation costs. In addition to directly helping people who are applying for refugee status, I'll be relieving the volunteers already in place who are struggling to provide hospitality and transportation assistance. Your support allows me to help people in desperate need.
The Problem
ICE has been regularly releasing between 300 and 400 persons daily to the existing hospitality organization in El Paso, Annunciation House, with which I have been working. That’s as many as 2,100 immigrants who need help every week. The volunteers work to feed, house and clothe them. We help obtain bus and train tickets, take them to the station to see them off on the next step of their journey, and provide them with food for their multi-day trips to all corners of the United States.
Benefiting: Annunciation House
Right now, the large number of refugees being released each week is straining an already strained volunteer effort. Annunciation House has been able to expand to nine refugee centers, assisting 2000+ people per week, all staffed by volunteers. Churches of all denominations have opened their parish halls, schools, gyms, and kitchens to support this influx of people in need. I’m one of many volunteers from all over the US, from all faiths and economic backgrounds, who have come to El Paso for weeks and months at a time to help staff these centers.
Conclusion: Please help.
With your support, I'll return to El Paso for another three-week trip to help at Annunciation House. I need to raise $3000 to pay for airfare and a rental van to transport immigrants to the airport or bus stations. I will donate all contributions in excess of this amount to Annunciation House to support this ongoing mission offering hospitality to immigrants in El Paso.
