Families from my daughter’s school and our local community are going through an incredibly tough time. Many are afraid to leave their homes due to the increased presence of immigration enforcement in our neighborhoods, making it nearly impossible for them to access basic necessities like groceries, toilet paper, and clean water. These families are doing their best to care for their children and loved ones, but the current situation has left them feeling isolated and vulnerable.

As someone who cares deeply about my community, I have witnessed firsthand the anxiety and uncertainty that many are experiencing. The simple act of going to the store or seeking assistance has turned into a source of fear, with many families struggling to meet their most basic needs. By coming together, we can offer a sense of safety and support to those who need it most.

Your donation will directly fund the purchase of groceries and essential supplies for these families. If you’ve felt helpless recently and are searching for ways to support your neighbors and community, please consider contributing. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a meaningful impact and reassure these families that they are not alone. The funds will go to a Hispanic organization in Springfield that is making home deliveries to families in need. For their safety, this organization must remain anonymous at this time. My daughter’s school is also working to assist families in need and collaborating with the organization to distribute items.

Thank you all for your generosity, and please share this message with others to help us reach as many people as possible.
