What I’m grateful for this Thanksgiving
<p>Let me first introduce you to <a href="https://nylag.org/yarys-lopez-robin-hood-heroes-2023/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Yarys Lopez</a>. With Thanksgiving approaching in these grim-feeling times, her story really helped me reflect on gratitude — and the obligations that gratitude compels. I hope it will do the same for you.</p>
<p>Yarys was just 11 years old when a neighbor tried to burn down her family’s home in Honduras in 2014. She is Garifuna, from an indigenous Afro-Caribbean population in Honduras that faces grim racism.</p>
<p>So her mom scooped up Yarys and her sister, and never let go of them. They walked across the continent, through Mexico, waded across the frigid Rio Grande, and presented themselves at the border to seek asylum here in the United States. For a while, they slept in one of the icebox warehouses, “la hieleras,” with only tin foil blankets.</p>
