SUPPORT FOR BABY BASTIAN
In January 2023, Sophia fled her employer’s home upon learning she was pregnant. She was unaware of her maternity rights and feared deportation to a potentially unsafe environment for her and her child. She overstayed her visa for six months and felt lost and alone … until she found PathFinders.

At seven months pregnant and without access to healthcare, Sophia was overwhelmed. PathFinders quickly stepped in, supporting her through the Immigration Department surrender process and addressing her medical needs through pro bono services. With our help, she was able to register at a public hospital and safely give birth to a healthy baby boy—her greatest joy.
After months of uncertainty, Sophia’s family has accepted her and Bastian, eagerly awaiting their return. Now, with her travel documents finalized, Sophia looks forward to reuniting with her family, ready for a new chapter of hope and togetherness.
