Give a Child a Lawyer

In immigration court, children are expected to defend themselves.
There is no public defender.
There is no automatic right to a lawyer.

Your donation changes that.

What Your Gift Makes Possible

Unaccompanied children arrive in the United States alone. Many are fleeing violence, abuse, or exploitation. Soon after arrival, they are ordered to appear in immigration court, often within weeks.

Without legal representation, children face overwhelming odds and irreversible consequences.

With your support, they do not face the system alone.

How Your Donation Helps

Your gift directly funds legal services for unaccompanied children in Bexar County, Texas, including:

  • Know Your Rights presentations inside shelters and foster care programs
  • Training and support for pro bono attorneys willing to represent children
  • Direct legal representation for children who would otherwise go unrepresented

Every dollar supports real advocacy, real presence, and real outcomes.

Why This Work Depends on Donors

Unaccompanied children do not have the means to hire lawyers.
The legal system does not provide one for them.

Advokato's work exists because donors choose to stand in the gap.

Your support ensures that:

  • Children understand their rights
  • Attorneys are present in courtrooms
  • Cases are prepared with care and expertise
  • No child is turned away because of cost

This is not abstract policy work. It is one child, one case, one future at a time.
