ICYMI: One San Antonio couple understands the desperation many Hondurans feel and why they risk an unknown journey to the United States after living there. Now, they are providing work and empowerment to women who stitch quilts.
“This one is Starry Night,” she said, proudly showing off the brilliant blue and yellow hues.“It’s a gorgeous, gorgeous country,” she said. “Unfortunately, a very dangerous one.”
The discovery of the deceased and suffering migrants, including at least two Hondurans, in the abandoned tractor-trailer in San Antonio is a tragedy to which they can relate. They understand the desperation to take a risk to seek a better life. For the first year, Courtney Kimball said she didn’t venture out of the safety of the apartment out of fear. Then, she decided it was time.
Courtney was making a wedding quilt for her daughter, so she taught Skarleth to make the little hexagon pieces.Courtney paid the girl $20.Skarleth lived in the shantytown by the river, where a bed is a luxury, gang violence threatens and money is scarce.“It’s what drives people to get into those trucks. It’s survival. They think there’s no other option,” Trent said.So the Kimballs are trying to help the women and their families where they are.
