The Goodwill of Las Patronas: An Organization Dedicated to Feeding Hungry Immigrants as They Travel Through Mexico

Nineteen years ago a couple of sisters in Veracruz, Mexico committed an unselfish act of kindness that completely changed their lives as well as benefited thousands of Central and South American immigrants making their way northward to the United States. The Romero Vasquez sisters had bought bread and milk for their family breakfast and were on their way home nearly two decades ago. As they made their way, they came to a stop at the local train tracks, waiting to cross. When the train came by, groups of immigrants riding in and on the train cried out to the sisters that they were hungry.
