Unaccompanied Minor Defense
Legal Woes Should Not Be A Child’s Burden
Unaccompanied Minor Defense
Parents will risk it all in order to give their children the lives that they themselves never had. Even if that means risking never seeing them again. This speaks to the dire situations many immigrants find themselves in before deciding to leave their home countries in search of the freedom and security within the borders of the United States.
What happens far too often, is that unaccompanied minors enter the United States with nowhere to turn for help. These are among some of the most distressing cases we see at Relief Fund. These children have escaped atrocious conditions, and have endured harrowing journeys to land on US soil. We believe that children in particular deserve low cost or free access to high quality legal services in order to set them up for future success. No child left behind.
High Quality Legal Representation
Relief Fund is able to provide hundreds of deserving families with legal representation every year, thanks to support from the private sector. The high-quality legal representation these families receive is of incalculable value to them, and truly changes their lives.
Legal Services Are Not Guaranteed for Children
Even though the US offers certain protections for minors, it does not guarantee legal services. This is a massive hole that only organizations like Relief Fund, and the incredible lawyers that donate their services, are able to provide.

Some of the most vulnerable immigrants seek out help at Relief Fund because they do not know where else to turn to. They depend on us to help from start to finish. And that’s what we do – we do not refer cases; we finish the hardest cases from the start.
We rely on your contributions to provide free and low cost representation in court. Your donations go directly to supporting our programs.
By donating to our cause, you directly help to provide vital legal services to minors, survivors of violence, and refugees. Your donation is crucial to the immigrant community. Without donations from people like you, we would be unable to help as many people in need as we do. We appreciate your support!
