Here is a little help if you want to send a note or card to a child in detention.

I send postcards written in Spanish – You don’t have to put postage on each card or note –  Write as many as you can  in Spanish and put into a large envelope addressed to:

TODEC
P.O. BOX 1733
Perris CA 92570 

English 

Hi, my name is ______. You are not alone. My family and friends are thinking and praying for you.
We send you lots of love and a big hug. You are very brave

Your new friend,

___________________

Spanish 

Hola, mi nombre es _________________.
Quiero que sepas que no estas solo(a). Mi familia y yo estamos pensando y orando por ti. Te mandamos mucho cariño y un gran abrazo. Usted es muy valiente

Tu amigo(a),

I try and send cards with pictures on them – but you can buy blank cards and draw your own pictures.  There are lots of options at Amazon

 

It is an ongoing campaign  – until every child is reunited with their family.
