Imagine the scared eyes of children stepping onto American soil for the first time. Their families, weary from a long and dangerous journey, are filled with hope and dreams of a new life in a land that promises freedom and opportunity. But behind these dreams lies a harsh reality: they must start from scratch, finding housing, jobs, and all the necessities of daily life.
