We hit a huge milestone this month! If you shopped our Garage, thank you! You helped us raise $640 for Each Step Home, an organization whose work focuses on meeting the needs of children and families whose lives are dramatically shaped by our country’s constantly shifting immigration policies.
Since 2025, ICE has detained over 6,200 children with their families in deplorable conditions. Family separations are only increasing. Over 145,000 US citizen children have been separated from a parent, and at least 4.6 million US citizen children are living with a parent at risk of deportation.
When a parent is detained, ICE takes their phone away, and their only option to call their family is to buy “minutes” from the detention center. Reports from ICE detention centers include worms in food, dirty water that causes stomach aches, and being forced to sleep under fluorescent lights that never fully turn off. Each step home uses the money from donations to fund phone calls from detained parents to their families, buy food, and manage the logistics and fees to help children get passports, a critical step in keeping families together when parents are deported.
Thank you to everyone who grabbed a “flawed” plant and helped give it a new home, you’re doing more good than you know. Keep swinging by the Garage, every purchase adds up for a great cause ❤️
