A 2-year-old child cries as her mother is detained near the U.S.-Mexico border.// Ένα παιδί ηλικίας 2 ετών κλαίει καθώς η μητέρα του κρατείται κοντά στα σύνορα ΗΠΑ-Μεξικού.

Η φωτογραφία ενός δίχρονου κοριτσιού να κλαίει σπαρακτικά όταν οι αμερικανικές αρχές καλούν και κάνουν έλεγχο στη μητέρα της κυκλοφόρησε πρόσφατα στο διαδίκτυο ενώ σε σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα και προκάλεσε θύελλα αντιδράσεων για την απάνθρωπη πολιτική του αμερικανικού κράτους
 να χωρίζει τα παιδιά από τους γονείς τους ή τους κηδεμόνες τους που κατηγορήθηκαν ότι διέσχισαν παράνομα στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες.
Mε αφορμή αυτή οι Charlotte και Dave Willner διοργάνωσαν στο διαδίκτυο μια καμπάνια προκειμένου να συγκεντρωθούν χρήματα για τους ανθρώπους που αναγκάζονται να περάσουν παράνομα τα σύνορα των ΗΠΑ. 
Στόχος τους είναι η πρωτοβουλία να διαδοθεί όσο γίνεται περισσότερο και να έχει απήχηση σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο.
Όπως εξηγούν οι διοργανωτές της κίνησης, έχουν κι αυτοί μια κόρη στην ηλικία του παιδιού που κλαίει και η εικόνα τους συγκίνησε τόσο που χωρίς να το σκεφτούν πολύ αποφάσισαν να βοηθήσουν τις οικογένειες που αναγκάζονται να χωριστούν στην πράξη.

They Wanted to Raise $1,500 for Immigrant Families at the Border. They Got Over $5 Million.

It all started with a viral photo of a toddler crying as her mother was detained at the border.
Charlotte and Dave Willner saw it on the internet, like so many other people, and responded by starting a fund-raising page that would rapidly become the largest single fund-raiser in Facebook’s history.
The Bay Area couple had been struck by the sight of the anguished 2-year-old Honduran girl looking up at her mother, who was being searched by a United States border patrol agent in southern Texas. They have a 2-year-old daughter of their own, and the image made them want to help the families being separated under the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” immigration policy.
On Saturday morning, they started a Facebook fund-raising page for the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, or Raices, a nonprofit organization that provides low-cost legal defense services to immigrant and refugee families in Texas. The Willners set a modest goal of $1,500.
Three days later, it has garnered more than $5 million from more than 130,000 people, stunning the staff at Raices.
“We’ve had moments of ecstasy and there have been a lot of tears in response to this outpouring of support,” Jonathan Ryan, executive director of Raices, said in a phone interview. “But those moments of joy are curtailed by a realization of great responsibility.”
The funds will go toward legal representation for immigrant children and parents in Texas, as well as toward paying parents’ bond so they can be released from detention centers and reunited with their children. The organization — which currently has about 50 lawyers on staff — plans to go on a hiring spree and fund training for volunteer lawyers willing to travel to Texas to assist, Mr. Ryan said.[...]https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/19/us/raices-charity-border-immigrants.html?module=WatchingPortal&region=c-column-middle-span-region&pgType=Homepage&action=click&mediaId=thumb_square&state=standard&contentPlacement=7&version=internal&contentCollection=www.nytimes.com&contentId=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2018%2F06%2F19%2Fus%2Fraices-charity-border-immigrants.html&eventName=Watching-article-click
