[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Across the country, amid the current political climate, immigrant families are living in despair and avoiding public places for fear of becoming a victim of an ICE raid.

To ease this fear, and be prepared for a potential life-altering event, Qualitas of Life encourages immigrant families to equip themselves with knowledge about their legal and financial rights and develop a plan to respond to and recover from any type of enforcement activity targeting immigrant families.

Qualitas of Life provides the following essential tips for our community:

  • Gain a better understanding of your rights and the resources available to access legal assistance
  • Be prepared for and know how to respond to the threat of a potential detention or deportation
  • Keep copies of all important documents in a safe place
  • Be sure you will not lose your money in case of a deportation
  • Get ready to prepare for an emergency: you can protect your family financial assets
  • Do not carry large amounts of money in cash
  • Protect your money in a financial institution
  • Make sure you or your family members can access your money in the event of detention or deportation
  • Make a budget for your children
  • Create a family emergency and recovery plan
