HELP REFUGEE CHILDREN.
San Fernando Valley Refugee Children Center, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes, specifically to secure legal representation for children who have come to the United States seeking refuge from the violence that plague their countries of birth. We further our purposes under this program by conducting the following activities:We provide case management services and legal aid for children who have arrived unaccompanied and are seeking refugee status. We collaborate with organizations such as CARECEN (Central American Resource Center) and ESPERANZA, as well as KIND and Public Counsel, who provide pro-bono attorneys for our children. When necessary, we pay "lo-bono" attorneys to represent our children. We also collaborate with local dental, vision, medical and mental health providers willing to provide free services for our children.We provide, as we are able, legal assistance for these children. The sad fact is that without an attorney, 90% of these children will be deported back to their country of origin where they are likely to be murdered by the gangs they fled in the first place. We also provide medical care and opportunities for socialization with other children here.We currently have 98 children registered in the Welcome Center. Over 70 of them now have attorneys, but we need help to get legal representation for the rest. The several agencies that provide pro-bono legal aid to these children are pretty well maxed out at present. In these cases, we need to turn to "lo-bono" attorneys, immigration lawyers who give us a reduced rate. This usually ranges from $2,500 to $5,000 per case. Donations received are used to pay for these attorneys so that each child has a fair shot.
