For those of you who don't know, my uncle Ozzie/Tio Andy is out in Texas right now working with unaccompanied migrant children. He sent me the following:
Hi Everyone

I have been deployed to a humanitarian mission in reunification of the thousands of unaccompanied migrant children arriving at the border. BY FAR THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THING I'VE EVER DONE.

I ask that you please read below and see if you would help any way you can.
Ft. Bliss, shared with me that they are in dire need of toys, games, activities, etc., to keep the 4,000+ children there entertained and to help alleviate stress and anxiety.
The kids are housed in large tents where there is little room for physical exercise, and they don’t get much outdoor recreation due to excessive heat in the El Paso area.
There have been few donations received at Ft. Bliss, and the games/activities they do have were purchased by volunteers. Catholic Charities created an Amazon Wish List with a number of needed items.
In addition to the suggestions listed there, Ft. Bliss volunteers are also requesting crayons, colored paper, origami paper, English/Spanish flashcards, puzzles, stress balls,
and items for indoor physical activity (hula hoops, beach balls, rubber balls). Please feel free to share this need with friends or family who would like a tangible way to help.
Donations can be shipped to the following address:
