Two U.S. groups came together to bring supplies and gifts to dads for Father’s Day at a refugee shelter in Mexicali, Mexico.
On a side street about five minutes from the U.S. border, a two-story building rises in an empty, dusty lot in Mexicali, Mexico, where families fleeing persecution and violence arrive, wait and hope to be accepted as refugees in America.Families from Mexico and Central and South America walk into Cobina Posada Del Migrante with little more than the clothes on their back and a dream to live in America in prosperity and peace.
Refugee fathers were given shoes, clothing and toiletries at the Father’s Day celebration, held at refugee shelter Cobina Posada Del Migrante in Mexicali, Mexico, on June 24. The group traveled to the border from throughout Southern California and gathered in Calexico. There, they took a short cab ride to the border crossing, where they walked across with suitcases filled with the donations. Across the border, in Mexicali, they again loaded up in taxis for the short, five-minute drive to the shelter.
Long tables were set up where the fathers selected shirts, pants, shoes, socks and underwear. They also received toiletries. In their second year helping with donations, Cuevas said, the group collected items through an Amazon wish list, along with monetary donations.
