Teresa smiling while selling snacks by the roadside

Teresa overcome with emotion after receiving help

Let's Bless Teresa 🙏💚

Organized by Carlos E. Created recently Los Angeles, CA

I came across Teresa in Los Angeles selling peanuts & snacks on the side of the road. I offered to pay for all of her products so she could go home. She instantly broke into tears and mentioned that she was afraid to be outside selling due to the heavy ICE presence in California right now.

I personally gave her $2,000 in cash — and I'm starting this fundraiser to help alleviate her financial worries during this time.

No one should be afraid to go to work, especially when making an honest living. Thank you in advance to everyone who donates to help Teresa. God bless. ❤️
