Join us for another Yoga en Español fundraiser co-sponsored by Elevate Education Consulting and Willow Street Yoga, and hosted by María Elena Montero.

We are raising money to help our friends Julio & Milagro and their two children Belén (6) and Axel (almost 2). They have applied for asylum and are working with a wonderful lawyer who is charging rock-bottom prices for a high level of expertise. We raised $5000 with our last three classes, enough to pay for legal fees through this summer. THANK YOU, EVERYONE!

Now we'd like to raise an additional $2000 in order to bring them fully up to date on their rent.

Suggested donation for the 1.5-hour class & celebration is $20 — give more if you can to help us reach our goal!

This lovely and loving family, Julio and Milagro (parents) and Belén and Axel (children), need your help to avoid being sent back to Honduras where they face grave danger. 

In their home country, through no fault of their own, they were victims of gang intimidation over a period of years. Ultimately, Julio was subjected to torture, forcing them to flee for their lives to the US where they have applied for asylum. Julio and Milagro are doing everything possible to give their two bright and beautiful children (who are now 6 and 1) a safe and healthy upbringing.
