About the project

Here you will witness the lives of Fedelina, Mario, Moisés, Yimel, Juan, Ofelia and Guadalupe. Just seven out of tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants who were taken too soon by this pandemic. They got sick while working at grocery stores so we could continue to eat in quarantine. They became infected while cleaning our homes, offices, and hospitals. Teaching our kids, cooking our to-go orders and singing for us at our last public gatherings were their ultimate sacrifices.

They were so much more than their work though. They were fathers, mothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, lovers, children. They were full of music and laughter, courage and dreams. They gave up so much leaving their home countries and coming to a place that didn’t always welcome them. They fought so bravely to make a better future for their families.
