After an asylum seeker’s initial processing at Casa Alitas, a shelter in Tucson, Arizona, the next step is arranging transportation to their destination. This travel may be by bus, train or plane. Every traveler and family is given a backpack or bag with essentials, dependent upon the size of the family and needs of the traveler. Our quilts are a mainstay and keep the travelers warm and comfortable. This photo shows the prep area for travel bags, which also may include snack items, toys, personal hygiene items and baby food. ~ Susan Rogers, First Crew, Portland, Oregon.
