Needs of the Asylum Seekers
I fell in love with a 3-year-old girl, Magaly, at the bus station yesterday.
Several volunteers were assisting refugee asylum seekers to get in contact with their sponsor families. As I walked around, my three-year-old helper followed me everywhere!
The needs of the asylum seekers are simple:
- The use of a phone to contact their sponsor families to obtain their bus/airline tickets
- An overnight place to stay for 1-2 nights at the most, a cot, a shower, snacks and clothing
- Hooded sweatshirts, pants in Men's sizes 30 or smaller, all kids clothing, especially shoes
