Girl raises $13K for migrants

ATLANTA — After learning of separated migrant families at the U.S-Mexico border, a 6-year-old girl from Atlanta wanted to help with a lemonade stand.

The girl went to work Sunday raising funds in Atlanta’s summertime heat.

Her mother, Shannon Cofrin Gaggero, set a broad goal of $1,000, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Now — from that lemonade stand and a fundraiser online — a total of more than $13,000 has been raised to benefit the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Service, a nonprofit in Texas that offers free and low-cost legal services to immigrants.
