Pope Donates $500,000 to US Border Migrants; Will Provide Food,Lodging to Migrants in Mexico

The Vatican said yesterday that Pope Francis donated $500,000 to Mexico-based projects to help migrant communities, the Yahoo website reports today (April 28, 2019).

The funds will be distributed between 27 projects associated with 16 Mexican dioceses and congregations, all of which asked for help to continue providing food, lodging, and basic necessities to those fleeing their home countries through Mexico.

In recent months, thousands of migrants have arrived in Mexico, having traveled more than 4,000 miles on foot and with makeshift vehicles from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.

The money is specifically meant to aid the 75,000 migrants who arrived in Mexico in 2018 as part of six caravans.
