The people in the colonias need our help, even if we are cannot go to them in person. As churches and groups with a long history of bringing help directly to the poor in Acuna stop their trips because of potential danger, they should not simply abandon these people and go to places where they feel there is more safety. Many have established friendships and relationships with the poor. We cannot abandon them in this distressing time.
The economy, news stories about border violence, the end of tourism, and the curtailment of mission trips clearly increased the need for help. Please support any reputable organization, like Paper Houses, that is operating in Acuna.
We will be walking these streets and delivering food, clothing, building material and remain present with these people. We continue to pay for shelters, medical care, school meals and a host of other things.
