Team,
In a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a donation to help us reach our $24,750 DACA Application Fund goal. But first, I’d like to explain what’s so unique about this goal — and just how meaningful it is to DACA recipients like myself.
Even though United We Dream is fighting for more permanent protections for immigrant youth than DACA, we’d be lying if we failed to acknowledge just how critical the program is to the lives of immigrant youth.
As a DACA recipient myself, I can speak to just how life changing it can be — impacting everything from education, to job opportunities, to wages, on top of the peace of mind that comes with obtaining legal status after living under the fear of deportation.
But there are still so many barriers standing in the way of immigrant youth securing DACA status. From processing backlogs to hundreds of dollars in application fees, applying for and renewing your DACA status is no easy task.
United We Dream wants to help, so we set up the DACA Application Fund. All donations to the fund will go directly towards covering the cost of application and renewal fees for DACA recipients.
This year, we’ve covered the $495 application and renewal fees for more than 50 DACA recipients. And with your help, we set a goal of raising $24,750 in the next month so we can support 50 more before the end of April.
Your donations have a human impact, so I’m personally asking you today: Will you make a donation to our DACA Application Fund to help us reach our target and support 50 additional DACA recipients?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
On behalf of everyone at United We Dream, I’m so grateful that I can count on you to support the causes that matter most.
Thank you,
Luz, United We Dream
DACA Recipient
