Support Immigrants’ Family Integrity

Breaking Barriers, Reuniting Families, Restoring Hope

At VECINA, we believe every child deserves to be with the people who love and care for them, regardless of their immigration status. With renewed vigor, VECINA is excited to push forward more holistic support programs to prevent the separation of immigrant and mixed status families and fight to reunify families impacted by immigration enforcement

Since 2021, VECINA’s ReUnite Project 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 1,500 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 remains the only project in the United States dedicated to offering scaled, pro bono legal services specifically for the family members and other loves ones seeking the release of detained children. However, the challenges immigrant families now face means immigrant and mixed status families are facing even more obstacles to keeping their families safe and together. Our expanded Family Integrity Project aims to meet immigrant families where they are and to support their evolving needs through various tools, ranging from community events, intakes and consultations, and pro bono support.

To keep families together, we need your help! Your donation today not only supports immigrant families and children, but is also a way to take a stand for our American democracy. When immigrants rights are threatened, all of our rights are at risk.
