Last night I had a major epiphany about Bird Box.

If you haven’t seen #BirdBox don’t read this.

If you have please read this thread! The basic storyline is a mother decides to take her children on a perilous + life endangering journey in order to give her kids a better future in a distant unknown sanctuary.

Before the family embarks on their journey, home for this family is dangerous.

I was told there was a young boy who had down syndrome whose mother was very sick.

I immediately went looking for them. I found Ana in her tent under a mound of blankets. I asked if anyone knew where her son was but everyone pointed me in conflicting directions. Just then the mother began to stir. She sat up and asked if I could help her. She told me she felt very sick. She had spent the day in various offices getting her paperwork in order for her asylum case. As soon as she got back to the shelter she got sick.

A thread about abortion:

My mother is #OneInFour women who has had an #abortion. Her abortion story is also my story, which is why I am sharing it now.

My mom, brother (6 yrs old) + I (3 yrs old) came to the USA to be reunited w my father who had come a few months earlier. A typical immigrant story. We left behind all of our family to start a new life in the USA.

Our story stops being typical the morning my father told my mom he was going to work and he never came back. My father abandoned us with no money, no family, no education + no English.

THREAD: #FAMILIESBELONGTOGETHER

1) Tonight six people spread across the entire country came together in a matter of minutes to help a mother who had just been released from a detention center with a very sick four-year-old. This is our story. 2) I got a text from my friend Rebecca, angel #1. She told me about a woman she had met in the San Antonio airport who had just been released from a detention center w her 4 year old daughter.
