ReUnite Fundraising Campaign 2024

Breaking Barriers, Reuniting Families

At VECINA, we believe every child deserves to be with the people who love and care for them, regardless of their immigration status. Since 2021, ReUnite has been dedicated to ensuring that detained unaccompanied immigrant children in the United States are quickly reunited with their loved ones. We have assisted with the reunification needs of over 1,300 children from 31 countries, speaking 29 different languages, and have seen firsthand the profound impact family reunification has on the lives of these vulnerable children and their loved ones.

ReUnite is the only project in the United States dedicated to offering scaled, pro bono legal services specifically for the family members and other loves ones—known as “sponsors”—who are seeking the release of these children. Without ReUnite, many families would have no way of bringing their children home.

While there is designated government funding for legal service providers working with detained unaccompanied children, there is no federal funding dedicated to legal programming to assist sponsors in the reunification process.

To continue reuniting immigrant families, we need your support.

Your contributions will help us:

• Provide free legal services to the families of detained children.
• Shorten the time children spend in detention facilities.
• Offer culturally appropriate language interpretation services
• Advocate for systemic changes that will improve reunification processes for unaccompanied children.
