Dear Friends and Supporters,
As immigration enforcement continues to escalate across the Central Coast, our community alerts have become one of the most critical tools we have to protect undocumented families. These alerts provide real-time information about ICE activity so families can take precautions, avoid harm, and connect to rapid response support when it matters most.
Since the beginning of this year, 805UndocuFund has spent $45,910.34solely on sending alerts. On average, each alert costs approximately $600—and this amount reflects only what we pay our texting provider. It does not include staff time, verification of reports, coordination with volunteers, or follow-up support for impacted families. In December alone, we have already spent $5,779.00, underscoring how frequently these alerts are now needed.
These alerts are not informational updates—they are life-saving communications. Each message sent can prevent a detention, help a family avoid separation, or give someone the time they need to seek legal or community support. As enforcement activity increases, so does the cost of ensuring our community is informed quickly, accurately, and securely.
We are asking for your support today to help us cover the ongoing cost of maintaining this vital alert system. Your contribution directly helps fund:
-
Immediate, real-time alerts to the community
-
Secure, reliable text messaging infrastructure
-
Community-led safety and rapid response
Every $600 raised sponsors one alert. Whether you are able to give once or become a sustaining donor, your support ensures that our community continues to receive timely warnings when they are needed most.
Thank you for standing with our community and helping us protect lives during this critical moment.
With gratitude and solidarity,
Primitiva Hernández
Executive Director
