Children's Stories

"In 2019, KIND helped a 4-year-old child in critical medical condition reunite with her mother in the United States, where she received life-saving medical care. Our Houston staff continues to work with the child and her mother to ensure that they receive the legal assistance and social services they need. "
"Juan* and Roberto* are teenage brothers who fled Honduras on their own, seeking safety and hoping to reunite with their father in Texas. At the border, instead of being given access to the process and procedures required for unaccompanied children by law, Juan and Roberto were held in a hotel in an unknown location for several days with no access to medical care or an attorney. Finally, a KIND attorney was able to intervene and halt their expulsion to Honduras. The two brothers were moved from the hotel to a licensed shelter for children and soon after released to their father. They are now seeking asylum in the United States. "
"KIND assisted a 17-year-old youth who had survived torture, sexual violence, and persecution in his home country before seeking protection in Mexico. Thanks to KIND’s assistance in his refugee application process, the youth was able to understand his rights and successfully advocate for himself during his refugee status interview. He now has protection and is awaiting receipt of his permanent residency in Mexico."
