Dear Friend,

El Naranjo, México to Atlanta, Georgia. My name is Manuel Trejo, and that’s the journey I’ve made almost 50 times over the past nine years to support my family. In March 2020, I crossed the U.S./México border for the last time and was able to bring my wife and children to Atlanta with me, thanks to the Latin American Association (LAA) and supporters like you.

While the U.S. was coming to terms with the COVID-19 pandemic in the middle of March, I was overjoyed because my family’s petition for permanent residency was approved. This time I would not be sad as I left México; my family was finally coming home with me!

Without the LAA I wouldn’t be with my family today. LAA staff spent countless hours - no days - meeting with me to complete our application, ensure my family’s sponsorship, and ultimately gain approval of our petition.

This time of year, most of us are thinking of ways we can change someone’s life. You have the chance to make a difference in lives of families like mine by making your gift to the LAA today.

People just like you make it possible for the LAA to change lives every day. My family was just one of over 27,500 families (that's over 40,000 individuals!) that the LAA had a transformative impact on this year. Help another family begin their story by making your gift to the LAA today. Thank you so much for your help.

With gratitude,
P.S. YOU can increase your impact for Latino families in our community. Your gift will be doubled dollar-for-dollar up to $15,000. Help families just like mine begin their story by making your gift today!
 
P.P.S. Every gift of any size makes a difference!
