Dear Naresh, I just read this story and was startled. A young mother from Honduras named Lucia lived under gang threats and violence for years. Then they murdered her sisters in front of their own children. The gang started looking for Lucia next. She and her eight-year-old daughter fled for their lives. Along her journey, danger and abuse followed. She became pregnant with twins. Finally, Lucia made it to the United States. Thanks to you, she received the life changing assistance she needed. Human Rights First provided Lucia with free legal aid and social services. She now has the support she needs. Her children are thriving. Her family is safe. Naresh, you saved Lucia's life.  DONATE  As a journalist, I've come across countless stories like Lucia's. It breaks my heart every time. Time and again, people all over the world face unspeakable violence and danger, fleeing for their lives. But I find comfort knowing that Human Rights First and supporters like you are there to help. Your work changes lives every day. That's why this Giving Tuesday, I'm standing with Lucia. Will you join me? DONATE On this national day of generosity, we should challenge ourselves to do more. To uphold American ideals. Can we count on you to help us change more lives? Standing with Lucia, Meredith Vieira Journalist, Talk Show Host, and Human Rights First Supporter P.S.
