Laughs for Legal Aid 2025: A Night to Remember

On April 11, about 150 guests gathered for Laughs for Legal Aid 2025, an unforgettable evening of community, culture, and comedy. Thanks to your generosity, we raised funds to provide free legal services for unaccompanied immigrant children seeking safety and stability in the United States.

Held at Alamo Heights United Methodist Church, the evening featured performances from a local mariachi group, the quick-witted improv talents of The Holding Pattern, and laugh-out-loud sets from comedians Jordan Savai and San Antonio’s own Cleto Rodriguez. The silent auction buzzed with excitement as guests bid generously on one-of-a-kind items.

“It was beautiful to see people having fun while investing in families seeking a better life,” said Rev. Miguel Padilla, JFAI fundraising committee member. “Amy’s story reminded us that most immigrants want to give back and be part of something greater.”

This special night would not have been possible without the dedication of our volunteers, sponsor, and partners who gave their time, resources, and heart. See more highlights on our Facebook page: facebook.com/Justiceforallimmigrants

We can’t wait to laugh with you again next year.

The Impact of Your Support

Amy’s Story: A Future Fueled by Justice

At Laughs for Legal Aid 2025, we were honored to hear from Amy, a high school senior and former unaccompanied child from Honduras. Her story reminded us all why this work matters.

Amy arrived in the United States alone, filled with hope but faced with overwhelming legal challenges. “Your entire future can come down to legal papers,” she said. “And for so many children like me, we don’t have the resources to navigate these challenges.”
