RAICES (The Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services) has called for celebrating immigrant mothers on this important day:
“This Mother’s Day, let’s celebrate the immigrant mothers and parents who will do whatever it takes to give their children a safer and brighter life.
Today, we honor Ms. N, pictured above with her children. We concealed their faces with flowers grown in Afghanistan for anonymity. Ms. N is one of our clients in the Refugee Resettlement Program. She recently arrived with her family from Afghanistan and is living in Texas.”
