We’ve all seen this photo of the two-year old baby from the Honduras who, along with her mom, was detained on June 12 by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol after they crossed the border. What you haven’t seen (probably) is the second photo, showing mom removing the shoelaces from the baby’s shoes, as required the Border Patrol agents. Treating the baby like an adult prisoner.
Then this four-year old boy from the Honduras, who was detained along with his dad after they crossed the border. If you look carefully, you’ll see a badge has been placed on his chest and his left shoulder, with his assigned number, #47. Remind you of something? I want to believe the number is to allow the US to reunite the boy and his dad, but I don’t think so.
Some more. I have the story behind each of them, but each photo is strong enough.
Then this. Can’t we afford real blankets for these kids? I’m sure the military bases in the area have acres and acres of spare blankets we can use to keep the kids warm, instead of wrapping them in mylar.
And these are cages, not chain-link fence partitions as claimed by the trump people. Cages. The photo is real. It’s a screen grab from a video produced and released by the US Customs and Border Control.
On the night of Friday, June 15th our neighbor Cecile and her younger sister were trying to help their older sister leave an abusive relationship. While Cecile took in her sister and her cats, the boyfriend tracked her down and forced his way inside Cecile’s home. He barricaded the three women in a back bedroom, fired shots and set the house on fire. After calling 911, the sisters managed to escape through the bedroom window. Yet Burbank Fire Dept was not immediately allowed to put the fire out due to the active shooter presumed to still be in the home. Cecile’s home is now completely destroyed and three bunnies and three cats were casualties. Many neighbors have graciously asked how they can help.
While both Cecile and her husband work and have insurance, they immediately need clothes and food as literally everything they owned is gone. Rather than collecting physical donations as they are living in a hotel right now, please consider donating a small amount of money to help them with the immediate clothing and food expenses and alleviate the stress of the situation.
If you’d prefer to donate a gift card or know a business that would, please let me know.
Thank you to our wonderful Burbank Community!
Hey guys, this is the incident that I was posting about the other night. Even if you can’t donate, a signal boost would really be appreciated.
Tuesday, June 19th: Hi guys, I’m Gemma and I really need your help. Would anyone be able to send me a few £’s so I can buy myself food for today and tomorrow, or a little bit more to help me through this week? *It’s also my birthday today and I would really appreciate having something proper to eat for it…
For the past few weeks, I have regularly skipped on eating (often for several days in a row) to try and make ends meet due to my(WCA)benefit sanction, but thanks to everyone’s help in boosting/donating to myGofundme postI’ve thankfully hit my goal to pay my overdue bills (rent + tax, & my electricity/gas meters) but I won’t receive the funds until later this week, once it clears in my account and I’m still really struggling to get by.
If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1, it would literally save my life, thank you💖
I just swallowed mossy water to get my fish tank vacuume going. Looked over at my betta and said “you’re lucky I love you so much.” And the little twerp has the nerve to flare out.
