Please pray for all the migrant mothers who celebrated Mother’s Day on 10 May at the CAME (Centro de Atención al Migrante Exodus) shelter in Agua Prieta, Sonora and for the children who honored them. Pray that they might have courage and patience in this time of waiting. And let us give thanks for the volunteer mothers and donors who are helping the migrants at CAME.

Traditionally, Mother’s Day in Mexico is a big event, and that tradition did not stop for the mothers at the CAME. On Mother’s Day the children held a celebration to show gratitude to the volunteer mothers and donors. Presently, there are about 30 people at the CAME migrant shelter who, so far, are safe from the double threats of coronavirus and Mexican organized crime.
