David Esperanza, Gerardo Iván Morales

David Esperanza was born in Honduras. When he was a baby, his parents migrated to the United States so they could provide him with a better life. At the age of thirteen, he and three cousins began traveling north to seek asylum in the United States. When they arrived at the border in 2018, at the height of the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy, he was separated from his cousins and sent to a child detention center in Tornillo, Texas. After five months of excruciating uncertainty, he was released and reunited with his father. He is now the proud father of a baby boy.

Gerardo Iván Morales was born in Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico, and immigrated to the United States of America in 2000 when he was five. He is passionate about advocating for human rights and immigration. In 2018, Iván dedicated six months inside an American child detention center providing aid and support to detained asylum seeking children. On his first day, he met David Esperanza and the two forged a bond like brothers that lasts to this day.
