When Mateo fled his community in Mexico at just 12 years old, he never expected he would be separated from his family when they reached the border. Mateo waited for two months to be reunited with his family, but his hope never diminished. His story highlights the resilience of children who go through our immigration system on their own and the importance of communities who support them as they transition in their new lives. #NationalChildrensMonth Learn more: https://bit.ly/3V8FvU5

Tens of thousands of unaccompanied children seek refuge in the United States each year. Most are fleeing threats and violence in El Salvador, Guatemala or Honduras. These children are released from Office of Refugee Resettlement custody into the care of a sponsor. Most join a relative or friend already living in the United States. It is often a tough transition. They adjust to new communities, cultures, languages and family units. Each child has mental health, safety, education and legal needs that must be met. They are facing a new world, and they are doing it with very limited help. That's where CWS comes in. #NationalChildrensMonth
