Support is a powerful catalyst for change.
Take Sanjuana and Mirna, for example.
Sanjuana, a mother of three, moved to the United States at just 6 years old, never knowing another home. Due to her missing legal status, she struggled to find work and ultimately felt unwelcome in the country she had to call home, despite having grown up here.
“It was very difficult for me. I would go out afraid that I would have an encounter with the police due to an accident or a simple traffic citation. There was always a fear of going out on the street,” Sanjuana shared. “My life before had been different, as I had spent a lot of hard-earned money on lawyers who only gave excuses and never legal results."
Similarly, Mirna came to the U.S. in search of a better life for her family, leaving her beloved children behind. Instead of being met with hope and open arms, she found herself afraid and distrusting of the very country that was meant to provide her with lifechanging opportunities and security.
These negative experiences are not unique to immigrants.
Many members of Grayson County live in fear and struggle to participate in daily activities, with the simple desire to work, visit their home countries, and live in stable circumstances. Unfortunately, they often don't know where to turn and may fall victim to false groups or individuals claiming to be certified legal immigration representatives.
While these stories ended happily, with each family receiving the help that they needed, not all stories do if help is not given. We must work together to support & empower immigrants to create a community where everyone is safe & valued.
