There are four children in Westchester from two families whose fathers are being held by ICE in Alabama. We can help get these kids, including 8-year-old Jozelyn Zhinin, to their dads for a Christmas visit. Please consider attending the party this Friday and/or making a donation to reunite these families, even briefly.
We are a quarter of the way there - help us reach our fundraising goal! Learn more
