One single mother from Venezuela and her four kids moved into the 1st District police station two weeks ago.
– For more than two weeks, a single mother from Venezuela and her four children have been staying in the crowded lobby of one of Chicago's police stations."It's already full," said Margarex Guerrero."The police station is full.""While we're here, we can't do anything and we've been here many days, many, many days here," Guerrero said."We're asking for help, please.
Keeley works just down the street at Awaken Church. The church opened its doors to migrants when it heard they might need a safe place to go during the day. "You have to have basic things to just be able to function and thrive," Keeley said."I just don't want people to have to exist in survival mode.""I ask anyone, please, whichever person, whichever foundation or whichever human being, put your hand to your heart and help us leave here and get to a shelter," Guerrero said."Yes, I have it because I left my country and put my family in the hands of God and look where I arrived," she said.
At least two families, including a pregnant woman, were able to secure a spot at the emergency shelter in Pilsen on Friday. But all other families at the church will be going back to the 1st District police station for the night.
