How your role makes a difference

Imagine facing violence, extreme poverty, unexpected separation from your family, gang extortion, or trafficking-all before the age of 12. That's the reality for unaccompanied children, primarily from Central America, seeking asylum at the U.S. border.

In other words, to know they're finally safe and out of harm's way.
