Hutch in Harmony
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The DACA program has been a lifeline for so many young people who were brought to the United States as children, allowing them the opportunity to pursue their dreams, build careers, and contribute to the fabric of our communities.
As uncertainty around immigration policy continues, it's more important than ever that we support Dreamers-ensuring they can work, study, and thrive without the constant fear of losing their status.
However, the need for financial assistance to cover DACA renewal costs far exceeds Hutch in Harmony's current capacity. Thanks to a generous donation, last month they were able to share the life-changing news with two local residents that their DACA renewal fees had been fully funded.
One of these recipients, Melissa, works as a 911 Dispatcher and expressed the deep significance of her DACA status: "Being of help to the public is what I am intended to do...I couldn't do that without my DACA.” Melissa and her family are now able to live with greater security and stability.
There is more work to be done. The goal is to support 10 DACA recipients in Reno County with pending renewal requests. By contributing to this cause, you can directly impact the futures of Dreamers-helping them to continue making invaluable contributions to our communities and ensuring their dreams are not interrupted.
Even though the Hutch In Harmony office is closed until the first of the year, you can still give a year-end gift to help Save the Dream in Reno County at https://www.zeffy.com/fundraising/savethedream.
