Dear COHI Family,
This new year has brought with it tremendous challenges for the asylum seeking community at the border. With this administration's new immigrant wealth test and the enforcing visa restrictions on pregnant women, the situation for families waiting in Mexico continues to look grim.
That's why COHI is aiming our efforts at keeping this population healthy, no matter what regressive policy is thrown their way. In January, this has meant ensuring that Daniela, an asylum seeking mother located in Matamoros, has access to the high quality medical care she needs to survive. She was first referred to COHI and our partners after not responding to medication for a kidney infection. We were then able to ensure that she could go to the general hospital, accompanied by an experienced activist and medical professional, where a tumor was discovered. She has since received treatment and is doing well.
These are the people that we work for. Human beings just like you and I, who have been put in positions that prevent them from accessing the resources we take for granted. Join us today in our efforts to make sure they're able to receive the treatment they need, when they need it.
Love,
COHI Family, Staff, & Board
