Want to help the Madrinas de Justicia do more ? We need your support now more than ever. These pictures represent people we are serving through your donations. We’re stretching what we have and prioritizing the most vulnerable individuals. These pictures are from a shelter in Reynosa. But there are more people we serve through donations in Matamoros.
We also work with families in crisis on the US side .Imagine a family being ripped apart with a parent sent back to another country and an older sibling taking care of the younger siblings indefinitely. It’s happening. With your donations , we can provide food assistance , clothing and bedding and medications when needed.
The Madrinas de Justicia work to bring justice and dignity to vulnerable families and individuals. You can be a part of this response.

A note from an attorney who is working her tail off trying to get people out and safe 🩵🫶🏽🕊️

“Our client reunited with her girls in Minneapolis. She was grabbed by ICE in Minneapolis during the Metro Surge, and transported in the middle of the night to Texas then New Mexico, lost for a while. It has been almost 5 months! Her kids were allowed to stay up to midnight to see her at the airport, and I think they get to stay home from school today!! yay! THANK YOU, LAS MADRINAS and everyone who helped. As always, I am so proud of the work y'll do in the RGV and beyond. Y'll impressed the folks up north with the speed in which y'll were able to pull this together. THANK YOU!”

Airline Ticket - $380.
Reunion with children - priceless

We can only continue to assist with getting people home with your donations. This is critical justice work. It’s putting our words into action.

Now is the time to be alert and aware. The Madrinas want to do the work of justice , to assist people with basic need including food , clothing and housing. We are being asked to help with transportation for individuals who have been detained in government detention facilities and are now being released to their families.
💙⚖️✈️🚐🏩🌮
We cannot do this without your support. We no longer have the kinds of funding pathways we once did. We must rely on individuals and organizations who want to support our mission.
We are all volunteers so no funds are being paid to salaries. We distribute in kind goods from our storage units , as well taking goods to shelters on the Mexican side of the border. We are sometimes asked to purchase tickets or nights in a hotel for vulnerable people being released.
This is quiet work , not a flashy , newsworthy event. The families we help support are known to their loved ones , their community and to us only so we can support them.
We can continue this work with your support. Thank you so much for all you do 💙

We went to Dilley as a collaborative group from the Rio Grande Valley to protest family detention , children being imprisoned , human rights violations , racism and injustice. We came away as part of a much larger group of organizers , activists , humanitarians from all over the state and Texas as well as other parts of the country. We raised our voices in dismay , we raised our voices as advocates and allies to say we dissent. We protest. We do not approve of this incarceration of families and children. We cannot allow this to go on.
With your donations , we can continue to provide emergency food , clothing , toiletries and school supplies to those affected by deportation in our community. We respect , we protect , we reach out with assistance to those in need. Help us help them.

Lent is a sacred season for those of us who strive to follow the teachings of Jesus.
It is a time of reflection not only on the suffering He endured, but on the life He called us to live.

A life rooted in compassion.
A life that remembers His words . . .
“Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Because He also promised, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Yesterday, we were honored to attend a special Lenten event hosted by former Senator Eddie Lucio. Together, we walked and prayed through the Stations of the Cross step by step, prayer by prayer allowing ourselves to sit with the weight of Christ’s journey.

But it was the Tenth Station that struck our hearts the hardest . . .
Jesus is stripped of His garments.
Stripped of His dignity.
Exposed to humiliation.
Treated as if He was less than human.

And immediately, our minds went to our immigrant brothers and sisters.

Because even today, we are witnessing people being stripped not of clothing, but of dignity.
Families separated like it’s routine.
Mothers and fathers treated like criminals for seeking safety.
Children sleeping in fear instead of in peace.
Human beings spoken of as problems instead of people.

Jesus was mocked.
Immigrants are mocked.

Jesus was judged before He was heard.
Immigrants are judged before their stories are known.

Jesus carried a cross He did not deserve.
And immigrants carry burdens most of us will never have to imagine . . .
leaving behind everything familiar, risking everything, simply for a chance at life.

And just like the crowd looked away while Jesus suffered,
too many still look away today.

But Lent reminds us that faith is not proven by what we say.
It is proven by what we do.

So we remain hopeful.
We remain prayerful.

And we remain committed to the work of love, advocacy, and mercy because the Gospel demands it.
And until things change, we will keep showing up,
keep speaking up,
and keep walking alongside those the world tries to push aside.

Because as the song says:
“They will know we are Christians by our love.”

And may that love be louder than fear.
May it be stronger than politics.
And may it always recognize Christ in the faces of the vulnerable.

Like always stayed bendecidos and rooted!

We’re working together as a community to collect food and supplies for families in need. If you’re local to Brownsville and want to donate canned goods , we can receive them at our storage facility. If you’d like to order online , we can receive boxes at :

Madrinas de Justicia
Brownsville Storage
1045 Mexico Blvd
Brownsville , Texas 78520

Feel free to give us me a call to let me know that you’ve mailed or are dropping off food for us. These families are scared for their lives. They’re in hiding now and they can’t go to the store. We are a life line for them.
If you’d like to make a monetary donation for food supplies, please consider using the donation link below and selecting Madrinas RGV from the dropdown menu.
