I had very stylish links for today’s post, all linking to how to take care of your skin and other very interesting articles. But as it happened, everywhere I went searching to complete the post, I found instead articles about the “zero-tolerance policy” that is separating children from their parents at the border. I’m sure everyone’s heard of this horrific situation. These children are supposedly kept in cage like spaces with no information about where their parents are or when will they see them again. They find no comfort because they are told not to hug each other, the people supervising them can’t comfort them either. “She was so traumatized that she wasn’t talking. She was just curled up in a little ball.” Harpers Bazaar.
I can’t even imagine the state of desperation these families are going through. Many of these parents are trying to save their children from the hands of gangs and street crime, from a future of violence or death. We can all contribute to organizations that provide help to these families. If you want to help these families, you can donate to organizations that advocate for migrant parents separated from their children, like UCLA, Border Angels, Young Center and Kind.
