gofundme's video: This Organization Brings Food Supplies To Asylum Seekers In Texas

Michael Benavides and Sergio Cordova are co-founders of , and were recognized as GoFundMe Community-Nominated Heroes of 2019. Michael & Sergio's story: Michael and Sergio live in Brownsville, Texas, which is very near the Mexico border. Asylum seekers arrive at the border daily, but are simply dropped off at a bus station with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Many of them also need critical services, such as legal support, help finding family members, etc. The amount of need weighed heavy on Michael and Sergio’s hearts, and so they decided to help. Michael and Sergio work to take food and supplies to the asylum seekers at the Brownsville border. They also organize volunteers who assist by serving meals and distributing much-needed supplies such as diapers, wipes, sanitary napkins, shoelaces, and belts, coloring books, crayons, and soft toys and dolls for the children. They also work to provide maps, and help assist in planning out their journeys and connecting them with necessary services, where possible. Team Brownsville volunteers provide daily breakfast and dinner to about 80 people, including those waiting in hope to cross the border legally. There is so much need and so little support being given where it’s needed — Michael and Sergio can’t imagine not answering that call for compassion.
