Join the #OneVidaAtaTimeHUGCHALLENGE to foster empathy and raise funds for @immfamtogether an organization which offers comprehensive support to asylum seekers once they are released: Housing, clothing, and a path to reunite with their loved ones.
IT’S EASY: Share a photo of you hugging someone. It could be your kid, your partner, your parent — And if you post a #throwback pic of you as a kid hugging someone, that’s even better!
If possible, try to express what this hug means to you and how those currently suffering in detention are being denied a hug just like this one.
TAG #OneVidaAtaTimeHugChallenge; DONATE directly to Immigrant Families Together ; CHALLENGE a friend to post and donate, and that’s it!
Let's hug this out! #HugitOut
---------------------------------
Immigrant Families Together was founded in June 2018 in response to the inhumane immigration policy separating families at the U.S./Mexico border. We pay bonds for parents in detention and work to reunite them with their children. Additionally, we support over 100 reunited families as they recover from their detention trauma and adjust to life in the U.S. while their asylum cases are adjudicated. NONE of the IFT volunteers are paid. ALL of your funds will go directly to rapid response needs. HOW THEY USE DONATIONS: - Pay bonds to release detained immigrants. - Legal and relocation costs for related detained immigrants. - Acute needs such as medical, food and transportation costs, clothing, blankets, car seats and diapers for families who have been released, and temporary housing stipends for refugees who have just been released from detention and have no family in the U.S. - Supporting their partners on the border with their critical needs. - Operating costs to cover emerging needs and infrastructure.
All funds will be withdrawn by GoFundMe.org and then transferred to IFT outside of the platform.
