Hello friends and supporters! This is a brief report about the work we have done at the border and what we hope to do in the future.
Our team went to the border between El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico twice between 2022 and 2023 to meet with migrant families and to offer them free portraits in a trauma-healing and informed way.
Those were extremely moving trips that solidified the importance of what we are doing.
At this time, we have no immediate plans to go back to the border mostly because of financial restrictions. If we are able to fundraise enough, we would fly our director back to the border and work with organizations on the ground who help us connect with the migrant families.
We hope to be able to do that sometime later in the year! Thank you for your continued support.
