REFORMA Children in Crisis Task Force

The REFORMA Children in Crisis project has been addressing the needs of asylum seeking children arriving at our borders since 2014 when Oralia Garza de Cortes and Lucia Gonzalez founded the group. Over these years there has been an ebb and flow of activity as the arrival of children has fluctuated and as the U.S. national policy has changed.​

Today we find ourselves in a very challenging situation as we attempt to send books to both sides of the border for the rapidly rising number of arriving children and families. Over the years we have worked with traditional shelters here in the U.S. like those of Southwest Key and with grassroots organizations like Team Brownsville on the Brownsville/Matamoros border, Jewish Family Services, Catholic Charities and many others.​

We are today asking for your help again so that we can purchase more Spanish and bilingual Spanish/English books for the children. Please help us spread the word about the need for donations to purchase books and to ship them to the various shelters, transportation points where the children are passing through and anywhere else that we and our supporters find the arriving children.​
