We help families get documents that allow a trusted person to make decisions for the children of the family when parents are absent due to injury, death, jail, or deportation.

​

The parents choose a designated person (usually an adult family member or trusted friend) who will be given the power to make medical, educational, financial, or other decisions on behalf of the children.

​

To start, please fill out this form so we can contact you. We will need your name and a phone number for either yourself or a trusted friend (cell phones preferred) so that we can contact you. If you prefer, we can also contact you by email.

​

For us to help you, you should be prepared to supply the following information:

​

Birth Parents identification: birth certificate, passport, U.S. Permanent Resident Card (Green Card), Employment Authorization Document (EAD/I-766), consular ID, or Social Security card. They should also have at least two documents (letters, bills) giving proof of their residential address.

​

Children's birth certificate.

​

Trusted friend or surrogate's identification.
