Re: S 8 Episode 2. Helen is being persecuted by her own government. As a US citizen she has as much right to medical care as any other human being. Why is it so difficult for her to receive medical care? At ten years old she needs her parents at her side.
One of the best interviews I have ever heard on a podcast. Rafael Cortes is wonderful. May God richly bless him.
I was able to spend some time with Father Brian and Father Louie at the border a little bit ago and I’ve been listening to the podcast ever since. They are both wonderful people and I can’t wait for the next season to come out!

I hope to write to each of you soon—thank you for your min... more
