All Children Have Rights. All Families Belong Together.

All children have the right to an environment that fosters creativity, and in turn, healthy development and growth. This right, and countless others, has been violated by the United States’ practice of separating immigrant families and detaining children.

Kid Made Modern has partnered with multiple groups to donate supplies and kits to detained immigrant children throughout the country. These kits and supplies will provide children opportunities to respond, reflect, escape from, and process their world, an experience particularly urgent for children affected by trauma. We all have something to offer in building a culture that upholds the rights of all people and stands up against it when it fails to. As policy continues to shift and change, we must remain steadfast in our commitment to aiding those impacted by this crisis. ALL children have rights. ALL families belong together.

Below is a list of organizations receiving donations. Please check back, as the list will be continually updated as donations are processed and sent.

CV Division of Immigration Services

The Children’s Village is a private, non-profit residential treatment facility and school for at-risk youth in New York City. Through their Division of Immigration Services, the United for A Dream program provides short-term shelter for children who have come to the U.S. without a guardian. The housing provides these children a safe place to live that is nurturing and culturally-responsive. When youth cannot be reunited with family members, options such as long term foster care or safe return to their home country are considered. The Children’s Village has accepted donations for welcome kits, school supplies, and tote bags for migrant children and other unaccompanied minors in their care.

Kid Made Modern has donated 48 Journal Craft Kits and 48 Embroidered Notebook Craft Kits.
