Rebuilding FIEL

UPDATE AS OF JULY 11, 2024:

It is sad to report the update that unfor

unately our landlord refuses to work with us and wants to take shorcuts that could potentially put our staff and clients at risk.

For this reason we are unfortunately going to have to relocate. We are devastated by this as our center had become a beacon of hope for the immigrant community specially in Southwest Houston. Nevertheless, we are confident that we will find something better that will be relatively close to old headquarters so we can continue to service the community in the greater Houston area. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this can cost and vow continue our work no matter what. We are Houston Strong

July 9, 2024:

Today, I saw a large part of my husband's life crumble completely. It weighs very heavy, because right before the storm hit, he expressed to me that he was going to stay put and be ready to respond to any help that was needed in the community.

It wasn't until today that Cesar, Aura, and Abraham Espinosa went to FIEL headquarters to make sure everything was in order, that they came across caved in roof, flooded floors, and damaged equipment.

The look on everyone's face was devastating, all their hardwork had been taken in a blink of an eye.

It is our turn to return the favor and help them bring all hands on deck to rebuild FIEL.
