We are happy to share with you one more story of the recipients from our Families Reunidas Bond Program, Ronald. He is a Haitian asylum seeker who was in detention for seven months. 

We are thrilled to have helped bond out one more person OMDC and reunited with his family. One more person will no longer have to experience the horrible conditions of ICE jails. He is now starting his new life life in Florida and is excited to finally be free.

Ronald is the 49th person to be bonded out, and we are continuing to use this momentum to speak out against injustices and get as many individuals out of detention as soon as possible. We are so grateful to all of you for your continued support. We are relying on you to use your voice, and use your platforms to help spread awareness about this issue and cause.

Given our world's current state, it is difficult to feel like one can make a difference. But, by not remaining silent, by continuing to question and put pressure on unfair and unjust policies, you are helping inspire change. 

You all continue to amaze us. We see you, we appreciate you and we thank you!

Let this story serve as a reminder of all the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and community members waiting in such conditions in detention, simply for seeking a place or a part in this country. Ronald represents so many others being subject to racist and inhumane policies, and we must not forget the urgency of getting everyone we can out of the Otay Mesa Detention Center. This pandemic continues to be unforgiving, and we will not allow any more lives lost. Again, we thank you for your support and ask you to continue to help us make sure our folks are #FreeAndAlive.

Our Water Drop team thanks you all for your nonstop support! Your messages on social media motivate them to keep on making trips to the desert during the summer heat. Keep the messages of hope and inspiration coming!

Extreme summer temperatures are not a deterrent for people crossing. We're able to get out there every week because of your support.

No matter the weather, nor how extreme the temperatures get, we have not, and will never leave the desert. As long as people are crossing through, we’ll be there.

Due to the extreme weather, we are only taking experienced Water Drop volunteers for the time being. As soon as we can safely take new volunteers out with us, we will! Make sure to signup for our newsletter to receive updates on Water Drop schedules. 

Continue sharing posts and making donations! 

Let's continue working together to minimize suffering and death in the borderlands.

For any questions about Water Drops reach out to our Co-Director James Cordero at [email protected].

Thank you for your continued support!
