Free Family Photos for Refugees/Disaster Survivors

Hello friends! We are just about halfway through 2023 and wanted to give an update to all of our supporters and followers. We are continuing to grow thanks to your help, and we are so very grateful to you. With your aid, we were able to give free photographs and new keepsakes to families who have gone through unimaginable situations and extremely hard chapters in their lives. It was our honor to give them framed photographs to hang up on their walls and memories to cherish. Here are some specifics:

• In January, we photographed refugee families in Tampa, Florida.
• In February, we photographed refugee families in St. Petersburg, Florida and hurricane survivors in Fort Myers, Florida.
• In March, we photographed migrant families in Juarez, Mexico at border shelters. We also photographed refugee families in Raleigh, North Carolina.
• In April, we photographed hurricane survivor families outside New Orleans in a small rural area called Gonazalez, Louisiana. We also photographed refugees in Raleigh, North Carolina and Wilmington, North Carolina.

We have photographed 220 people who were refugees, immigrants, migrants, asylum seekers, humanitarian parolees, or disaster survivors. 

They originated from following countries: Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Venezuela, USA, Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Honduras, and Ukraine. 

The second half of the year will be just as busy and also include World Refugee Day celebrations in June. We look forward to sharing more of the work we do. And if you are able, please consider donating again! Every little bit helps.

Thank you!
