The mission of the Latin American Relief Fund (LARF) is to support humanitarian organizations that assist migrants and refugees in Mexico, including Albergue ABBA shelter in Celaya, Guanajuato. 

LARF seeks to raise awareness about the plight of migrants fleeing poverty, violence, political upheaval, persecution and the consequences of climate change.
