Border Kindness: Doing whatever it takes for migrants in Mexicali, Mexico
Border Kindness (BorderKindness.org) meets the pressing needs of refugees and migrants in Mexicali, Mexico: providing food and supplies to shelters, arranging medical care, and connecting migrants with resources like legal representation. Executive Director Kelly Overton realized the need for humanitarian relief in the area during the family separation crisis of 2018, and when a migrant caravan arrived in the area that fall he loaded up his Jeep and drove down to help. With the support of local volunteers he continues to expand the services the group offers, including assisting Mexicali families with special needs.
