We have noticed with great joy that ever since we published on our website a page with information and resources for immigrants and refugees ( http://www.franciscansoflife.org/inmigracion.html ), it has become our second most visited page, counting hundreds of visits every month.
The link on franciscansoflife.org
Written entirely in Spanish, the page briefly describes the service of the Franciscans of Life to the immigrant poor. It also provides a list of services in Miami-Dade and Broward, such as emergency and abuse hotlines, low income medical care, community resources, public transit, internet, legal help, prison ministry, food and clothing, pregnancy help, housing, help to minors and refugees, and education.
To make navigation easier, a series of intuitive icons allow the visitor to quickly go to the section of interest.
Our website access statistics can only record a minimal part of the search phrases that led the visitors to our resource page. However, for those phrases that we have learned about, we are very moved to see how this page is able to meet the call for help of so many who are looking for very basic necessities.
In fact, out of curiosity we typed some of those phrases on popular search engines and much to our surprise we found that in many cases they are among the top results!
For instance:
- #1 in “catholic churches in miami that help find medical help”
- #2 in “help for immigrants in hollywood florida”
- #4 in “immigration refugees hialeah”
- #6 in “catholic medical services in miami”
- #7 in “metro rail low income miami”
- #7 in “clinics for people without medical insurance broward florida”
- #9 in “abuse help broward”
- #14 in “emergency help miami”
- #21 in “help for immigrants miami”
Please help us reach a greater number of our immigrant brothers and sisters in Miami-Dade and Broward by sharing this simple list of information and resources.
