To be physically and emotionally safe, while having access to programs and services directed by mental and health care providers can be the difference between living in trauma and thriving in life.
Covid-19 has drastically worsened the situation for poverty-stricken families in Mexico.
Our most vulnerable, women and children, are living without fundamental human needs.
