Members of the Interfaith Community Services and others in the community have been helping migrants get to their sponsor families in the U.S. since last Wednesday.
“The first things that we communicate to them is like, ‘Hey, you’re safe. Welcome. We are here to help you and what do you need,” said Marlene Romo, a site lead for Interfaith Community Services. “They’re coming from Asia. They’re coming from Europe. They’re coming from, yeah, everywhere you can think of; we have received them.”“We have had individuals that haven’t ate for three days. They haven’t showered. They just are desperate to get in contact with their families,” Romo said.
“We cannot be here for very much longer and, otherwise, we’ll just have people sleeping all over the streets,” said Interfaith Community Services Chief Development Officer Varinda Missett.“We need drivers to go to the airport. We need money for Ubers and for plane tickets,” Missett said. “Because often times they’ll get a hold of their sponsor family, and the sponsor family hasn’t heard from them in so long that they need a few days to get the money together so we need blocks of hotel rooms.
