CoFiA APPEAL– effects of pandemic on local immigrants
We all know that the current COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting all our lives and our economy. We at CoFiA are especially aware of the impact on our immigrant friends. Many are undocumented, and therefore do not have access to even the very minimal funds that are being made available to U.S. citizens to help weather the storm. Our friends are also living at the margins, economically, and do not have funds to carry them over from month to month if they lose jobs or homes or have unanticipated illnesses. They are also not eligible for health care assistance, either in the form of government help through programs like Medicaid or Medicare, or more local efforts.
Workers continue to look for work wherever and whenever they can. We are hearing of more and more desperate needs for help as work dries up and expenses continue.
Please help by contributing to this special COFIA PANDEMIC APPEAL by sending a donation of whatever amount you can, payable to the Community of Friends in Action, P.O. Box 313, Leonia, NJ 07605. Use the tear slip below if helpful. We will divide the money up carefully, responding to requests for assistance as we receive them.
THANKS.
