Dear friends and family,

COVID-19 has been difficult for all of us, with particular challenges for immigrant communities. Since the beginning of COVID, Girasol Texas launched Girasol Online to continue our work at the intersection of immigrant justice and mental health in virtual spaces. We continue to provide opportunities for professionals and students to engage in our mission to create a global community that prioritizes the mental health and wellbeing of all immigrant families. Our online trainings, resources, and volunteer opportunities for trauma-informed work with immigrant families will continue to expand over the next year, including:

Mental Health Collaborative- train mental health professionals to work as critical assets to immigration law cases in which families and children are detained
Immigration Dialogues- mobilize social work students and our community to serve as effective advocates for immigrant justice
Navegando Austin- continue developing our website that provides the resources and information necessary for immigrants to access the care they need

As we work to realize our vision of building a global network of support for immigrants, we are asking for your help. Today we are writing to let you know about four opportunities to help sustain Girasol’s work into the future.

Meet Girasol Mondays

We know that some of you may be unfamiliar with Girasol Texas. To get to know us better, please consider participating in one of our Meet Girasol Mondays, hosted on Zoom by Ana Hernández, our Program Coordinator, the second Monday of each month through the rest of the summer. We look forward to meeting you!

Thank You!

We are proud of what we have accomplished in our first two years, and now it is time for us to expand our current programs and adapt to the current challenges our global community faces. We would be honored to have you join us. Your gift today will be part of an unwavering commitment to support our immigrant community.

Thank you for your consideration.
