“Clothes, shoes, basic necessities, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, a lot of things we don’t think we need because we have it all the time, but for them they don’t have it at the moment,” Rojas is San Antonian, born and raised here, and has a giving heart.
“I have a lot of family who are immigrants, so from there, it’s something in my heart that I just love giving back to the community,” Rojas said.
There isn’t a wave of migrants coming to the Alamo City as expected.
Recent funds were received by the City of San Antonio to support its Migrant Resource Center in San Pedro, which will remain open till March.
After Tuesday’s supreme court temporary decision to keep Title 42 in place for now, Rojas isn’t sure what the future holds for other migrants.
“There’s a lot of grey areas for political reasons, health and other reasons, its tricky to answer that question,” Rojas said in discussing her feelings on Title 42.
This question will not be resolved until the Supreme Court rules on the Pandemic-Era Policy.
But in the meantime—Rojas thinks its important to help, by any means necessary.
“I just hope others see the benefit in giving back to the community. Even though its not their community, but just giving back to those who need it the most,” Rojas adds.
