Hillary Clinton is offering a helping hand to immigrants looking to reunite with their families: She says she'll help organize transportation they might not be able to afford.
"I'm going to be tweeting about this in the days to come, but if any of you work for an airline please direct message me because these families will need vouchers and discounted tickets to be reunited over these thousands of miles," she told a crowd cheering her Saturday in Central Park when she took the stage as part of a star-studded summer festival of conversation, music and food.
Immigrants separated from their children after crossing the U.S. border illegally was only one topic addressed by the former Democratic presidential candidate, secretary of state and U.S. senator from New York as part of the OZY Fest in the park's Rumsey Playfield.

(18,233 posts)that HRC knows how to get things done.
My husband is an FDNY 9/11 survivor whose company was first due at the WTC. He worked rescue and then recovery on the pile and volunteered for months for detail at the Staten Island dump where the debris had been transported, sifting through it for remains, personal identification, and mementos, anything to give any family a little bit of closure.
Well, he got sick afterwards, but his symptoms and illness were not among those covered by the supplemental insurance guidelines Congress had put in place for the 9/11 first responders. We had three kids at home and a mortgage. One medication alone was costing us $800 a month.
It was HRC who worked with legislators to ensure that those who had fallen through the cracks in coverage were included in free, ongoing medical monitoring at the finest hospitals in NY. She worked with pharmaceutical companies to provide medication free or at cost. She saved my family from hardship, and my hero husband is, to this day, convinced that she saved his life. The doctors who give him such good care would probably agree.
And that's why we'll always be with First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State, Presidential Nominee, Citizen Activist, and Feminist Icon Hillary Clinton.

(22,976 posts)I'm so very sorry for his illness, but am glad that he's at least now getting the proper medical help that, yes, he truly DESERVES. I, too, am deeply disappointed at the direction of our rudderless country, but not with the high stakes that you and your husband face daily.
We'll get through this together -- it's the only way.
All best --
