Dear LIRS Supporter,

Two years ago, we watched in horror as children were ripped from their
parents' arms and locked into cages. The disturbing actions at
the border caused massive public outrage, and politicians from both
sides of the aisle called for it to end.

But for the 545 children still separated from their parents, the cages
were just the beginning of an endless nightmare.

We're fighting for the rights of these children, but we could
really use your help. Will you support children who've been
robbed of their right to grow up with their parents and immigrants and
refugees who are seeking refuge by giving to LIRS today?

When the crisis began, LIRS was called to help reunify families
- including one pregnant mother separated from her 11-month-old
baby. When she was released to LIRS, she had no idea where to find her
child.

Fortunately, because of people like you, we were able to reunite her
with her baby and help with food, diapers, and temporary housing. She
was so thankful for the support that she named her newborn daughter
after a staff person who walked with her through this harrowing
ordeal.

But for the children left behind who are saying their first words,
taking their first steps, and growing up without their parents, we
must act now. We must demand that our government reunite these
families immediately and grant them legal status.

GIVE NOW

Your gift today will support our advocacy and reunification efforts.
It will also help detainees after they are released - making
sure they have clothes, shelter, transportation, and more. By giving
to LIRS, you'll be welcoming the stranger with open arms and
standing up for basic decency and core American values.

Please make a generous donation to LIRS right now. Give whatever you
can - any amount truly helps.

Separated children are scared, traumatized, and alone. Night after
night, they go to bed wondering if they'll ever see their
parents again. Please stand with them and all newcomers by supporting
LIRS with a generous gift today.

Sincerely,

Krish O'Mara Vignarajah
