You put smiles on the migrants’ faces

Thank you to all the Montezuma County folks who donated caps to our Help Deming Help Migrants campaign.

In a little more than a week, we collected 202 caps! That’s about enough to cover heads on one day’s arriving migrant population there.

I am so grateful to live in this big-hearted community. Wendy and Eric Bardrof delivered the caps on Wednesday, June 12. Here’s what she had to say:

“A bus-load of folks were being brought in to the fairgrounds from the receiving area (where they get to shower and have a medical check up, arrange transportation to their sponsors’ places, etc.) when I dropped the (caps) off. I wish I could have taken pics to show you, but it’s not allowed (ostensibly out of respect for our guests).”

Just imagine a smile on every cap! Cortez, you put those smiles there. Thank you again.
