Melba Salazar-Lucio joined us from the Texas/Mexico border to tell us about “Pillows of Love,” a project of compassion that she and her 83-year-old mom started last summer.  In an effort to add some humanity into he immigration debate, Melba and her mom have been sewing together pillows and plush dolls for the migrants and their children. Now, the children have a pillow to put their heads on while laying on the ground, waiting to be allowed across the border to ask for asylum.  Want to help?  You can donate cotton, thread, fabric, or money for supplies and be part of the humanitarian effort.  Contact Melba at:  [email protected].
