Atlanta Transit Angels

Even real tornadoes don’t stop the Tornado buses from arriving with tired but hopeful travelers from the border. Today with new team member Carol we served a big group of 15 adults and 10 children. As usual, the children ranged from impossibly cute to off the chain cute and today no one was sick. We are reading that the policy is now actively to reunite families and we couldn’t be happier. Outside the station we often see such joy when families are in each other’s arms again! It’s hard to imagine it was ever policy to separate children from their parents. But never forget that it was. And never let it happen again.

This gentleman is traveling with his little daughter through to Charlotte. Both had their shoelaces taken away, who can understand why. We were able to give them both new ones, and also soup and snacks for their onward journey. Today at Tornado we served around 8 adults and six children and we are expecting 16 at Omnibus. What a beautiful day!
