Good Afternoon Everyone!
August is upon us and summer is half over, imagine that.
During July, when the temps were in the high 90's and the humidity was upwards of 74%
our AC was not working and everyone was sweltering, I on the other hand was cold!
The windows were open, the fans were on and my husband turned the AC's in the back bedrooms on and put a small fan between them to pull the cold air into the great room where everyone congregates. It turned out that the AC system was down a pound of Freon.
Now everything is working fine.
Now something completely different!
DACA DEFERRED ACTION for CHILDHOOD ARRIVALS program is still alive despite the administration's efforts to kill it, and it is vital that eligible immigrant youth renew their two-year protection as soon as possible.
DACA renewal applications cost an outrageous $495.00 each, a sum that is out of reach for many immigrant families. The DACA renewal fund, run by United We Dream, offsets this cost.
My information came from Daily Kos. campaigns@dailykos.com
This summer I reached out to my home community, asking them to stand up and be counted
to help the asylum seekers that are being dumped in Coachella, the very same people that OR HAMIDBAR is helping. I reminded them that our parents, grandparents and great grandparents were immigrants and that because their efforts we are able to live in such a wonderful place. I asked them to make a monetary donation to the Lady of Soledad Church and I would FED X them to the church! Then I remembered that Rabbi David donates three afternoons a week. When I get those checks, I will Fed X them to Rabbi David and let him get the couvet!
Reading the weekly email from OR HAMBIDBAR I found out more information on the feeding program at the United Methodist Church of Palm Springs. I knew that they have a feeding program, but not the specifics. In case any of you have missed it, following is info on what kind of program, the name of the person in charge and their email and phone number. All are at the church in Palm Springs unless otherwise noted.
