Problem

Local economies, unfair labor practices and disparate living conditions force many poor people to risk their lives seeking living wages and more opportunities.

The Gift

Your gift will support shelters, drop-in centers, and local pastoral teams with humanitarian efforts to assist people migrating through Mexico. Migrants often fall prey to assault and extortion as they pass through Mexico, and they risk their lives passing through treacherous deserts and rivers. CRS and the Catholic Church work to promote alternatives to migration in Mexico and advocate for comprehensive immigration reform in the United States. Your generous gift of $100 will provide shelter, counseling and humanitarian assistance to 15 migrants for one year.
