One of my favorite prep cooks, an incredible Latina immigrant, had a horrific experience recently... [View all]

…and it's not even ICE.

She had her second child recently; she came back from maternity leave two weeks ago…for one day.

She left her TWO MONTH OLD INFANT with her baby daddy, and when she got back…the baby had been beaten so badly she needed a week in the ICU. From her GoFundMe (I am not linking it and I am not asking for donations, just quoting it because it's the best description):

Hello, my name is Grace and I am only two months old. Today, I am asking for your support. My mom left me in my father’s care so she could go to work, trusting that I would be safe. Unfortunately, I returned with very serious injuries: fractures in my ribs, my tiny arms, and my legs, along with burns and multiple bruises throughout my body. I also had internal bleeding and needed surgery on my arms.


Two months old.

I am beyond words, and beyond fury, as are all of us at work.
