The ICE Raids last week of various court houses in Rhode Island have left a number of families destitute. For those that were released, they no longer have jobs. Most have small children.
St. Teresa Church in Providence is raising money and gathering food and household items for the families
-----
Families and people who have been released met today with a great bunchof volunteer lawyers, and they identified their material needs, which
are enormous, as you can imagine. People are out of work, with family
here and in home countries counting on them to survive. Some of the things
mentioned include:
- Money for rent, bills, sustenance, medicine, food (probably the
easiest and most important)
- Food - milk, beans, tortillas, corn, fruit, vegetables
- Pampers, toilet paper, basic household supplies
Some of the family members and people released are working on a name and guidelines for the fund which will be passed along as soon as they decide, but in the meantime, St. Teresa Church will have a special account for cash donations. Checks can be made out to St. Teresa Church. Please put "redadas" in the memo.
