3. A Look Inside a Migrant Shelter in TJ, Mexico – Leticia Herrera, Pro Amore Dei

Immigration Today!

“How can I live so well when a lot of people are suffering? I knew I had to do something to help my people.”

On this episode of Immigration Today! with Angeline Chen, meet Leticia Herrera, the owner of a migrant shelter in Tijuana Mexico called Pro Amore DEI that houses asylum seekers. This shelter hosts around 185 people including 60 children. One of the unique qualities of this shelter is that they work with the Yes We Can World Foundation and turned a school bus into a classroom for kids. You can review the LA Times article here.

In the podcast, Leticia details why she does this work, what is provided in the shelter, and how you can help.

I had the pleasure of meeting Letitia as the cofounder of Rise to Reunite, a volunteer group that helps reunite families separated at the border. We volunteer with Al Otro Lado, which is a bipartisan legal services organization assisting migrants in Tijuana and Los Angeles. We have brought volunteers to Pro Amore DEI consistently from the middle of 2018 to 2020 providing humanitarian aid and legal services. Leticia is one of the strongest and most committed people I know, doing this work out of the kindness of her heart.

You can follow Pro Amore Dei on Facebook.
