Sueños Sin Fronteras de Tejas

What Sueños Sin Fronteras de Tejas does

Sueños Sin Fronteras de Tejas (SSFTX) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in July 2018 in San Antonio, Texas, that provides free perinatal support, mutual aid, education, and advocacy for undocumented, immigrant, and asylum-seeking pregnant and postpartum people (up to six months postpartum). Co-founded by Isabel Zepeda and Laura Molinar in response to the humanitarian needs of asylum-seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border, the organization operates from San Antonio, approximately 155 miles from the border, and is led by four Latina women with lived immigrant experiences under a horizontal leadership structure. Core programs include the Birth Justice Program (weekly perinatal health worker check-ins, prenatal vitamins, baby supplies, monthly diapers/wipes, and postpartum support kits), the Empowerment Mutual Aid Fund, the Act of Solidarity Commissary Fund (in partnership with RAICES at Karnes Family Residential Center), a Postpartum Virtual Support Group, the Showers for the People initiative, and the Féria de Bebe community fair. All services are provided at no cost with no financial requirements to participate.

SSFTX's underlying "platform" is a community-led mutual aid and direct service delivery model rather than a software product; it is built on relational trust, cultural organizing, popular education, language justice, and radical care practices developed over six years of operation. The organization is fiscally sponsored by Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs (SEE), a 501(c)(3) public charity. Technology footprint is minimal, consisting of a Squarespace website, Mailchimp mailing list, Network for Good donation processing, Instagram organic social, and a perinatal gift registry hosted on Target (the Birth Justice Registry). No proprietary software, API, mobile application, or AI/ML capabilities are present.

Revenue is generated entirely through donations and grants (monetary contributions from sustaining supporters and material donations of diapers, wipes, baby clothing, maternity clothing, car seats, strollers, and breast pumps). The go-to-market motion is community-led: SSFTX reaches its beneficiaries through community referrals, faith-based and advocacy partnerships, Spanish-language outreach, earned media coverage, and community events. Strategic partnerships with the City of San Antonio, AVOW Texas, Lilith Fund, Jane's Due Process, RAICES, UT Health San Antonio, March of Dimes Texas, and Highlander Research and Education Center support both direct service delivery and systemic advocacy, including the successful September 2023 advocacy for a City of San Antonio Reproductive Justice Fund budget amendment.
