Watching the news of the children coming across the border is heartbreaking. I can't even imagine being in a situation where my only hope was sending my child on a miles-long trip with questionable people. What is being said in your area of the country? Any talk of housing them in your area? There's no talk here in our state. But I have read that in some parts of the country, the Catholic Church is stepping up (just like always) to help.
Your thoughts?
We have a Catholic nursing home that is about to close because there aren't enough nuns to staff it. The last of the residents are going to be relocated in a few weeks. There has been talk about using that building to house some of these kids. My husband is not happy about it, because he's very opposed to illegal immigration, and he's afraid that the teenagers will get recruited by gangs. Such a sad situation.
ReplyDeleteIt is so sad! Let us keep in our prayers the souls on the Malaysian flight and their families and also those in Gaza, as rockets fly.
