Each Step Home provides $10,000 weekly to migrant families in U.S. detention
Casey Revkin, a California-based activist and mother, leads a humanitarian initiative through her organization, Each Step Home, to provide financial assistance to migrant families detained in the United States. The organization directs approximately $10,000 per week into the internal accounts of detainees, primarily at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in south Texas.
These funds allow families, including those with minors, to purchase essential items such as bottled water, food, snacks, and personal hygiene products like toothbrushes and toothpaste. The assistance is facilitated through the detention centers' own software systems, which allow external parties to deposit money into individual detainee accounts. Requests for aid are typically channeled through immigration lawyers, civil organizations, and activists.
One recipient, a Nicaraguan father named Luis Sánchez, described the relief the funds provided to his four children during their detention. He noted that the ability to purchase basic necessities helped alleviate the emotional distress and physical needs of his family while in custody.
