Testimonial: Monica Tomás Gonzalez

"We are a family, my four kids And my husband. We were deported to Nogales Sonora Mexico. We arrived very sad because they did not allow us to reach our destination, which was in the United States because at that time they were not letting people into the country to fight their cases. We were very sad because we didn't know anyone where we were deported and we didn't have any money to buy food because they took everything from us before arriving in Mexico. We were hungry and thirsty and then some people showed up and took us to eat and drink water because we needed it a lot. The people took us to the Kino Border Initiative soup kitchen that was run by the Sisters. I thank God for all their attention to my family. I thank you very much with all my heart. I am very grateful. The truth is, I thank all the people very much for their big hearts and for their patience. Every day they gave us delicious plates of food and gave us clothes and also a lot of love, especially because they wanted us happy because they also sang to us to make us feel happy."
