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.”

Thanks to free legal representation provided by JFAI, Amy was not left to face the immigration system alone. With support, she is now graduating magna cum laude and plans to pursue a career in anesthesiology. “I am proof that immigrants are not just statistics—we are fighters, dreamers, and contributors to the very fabric of this country,” Amy shares.

Amy’s story is not just her own—it speaks for thousands of immigrant children in need of legal protection. And it is your support that makes futures like hers possible.
