Big Thanks To AIDNW Donors! We want to give a big shout-out to everyone who has donated during this year of transition for AIDNW. Ours has always fundamentally been a volunteer operation, and we operate due to so many passionate volunteers who become pen-pals and visit immigrants in detention, who wait in all kinds of weather outside the gates of detention to welcome newly-released immigrants finding their way to a new life in the United States, who share their homes when immigrants need temporary shelter, and who keep AIDNW services going behind the scenes every day by volunteering in the office: answering emails and the phones - mostly requests from immigrants in detention needing funds to call family and attorneys - their calls in detention aren’t free unfortunately, so one of our biggest budget expenses is providing those funds to them. https://aidnw.org/big-thanks-2024-donors/
