No Pathway to Citizenship but there is Hope for DACA Recipients

A client, whom we will call Benjamin, called us desperately looking for an appointment for a DACA renewal. Given the large need in our community, the organization where he normally went for his renewal was not able to help with his renewal. He learned about our organization from a friend and decided to give us a call. Given the uncertainty with the DACA program, our office does everything we can to assist with any DACA renewals that come through the door. We were able to help Benjamin file his DACA renewal the following day and he was very grateful. We were also able to share insight about the Advance Parole process available to DACA recipients and he was taken aback by the information we were able to provide. The following was an email he sent after being notified that his application was mailed out: “Thank you so much for your help! I can’t thank you enough. The work you and your colleagues do is so important and is changing LIVES.” Thank you, dear reader, for your continued financial support, which helps the IRCSGV provide quality care to members of our community.
