Small Waves, Big Changes

Travelers Aid’s annual event supports transportation for San Diegans in need. Join us!

Themed cocktails, beer, wine, and a full Mediterranean spread will be set to a background of summertime fun and live music, with silent auctions and raffles rounding out the event. Each ticket comes with two drink tickets, and a portion of the proceeds from additional sales will be donated back to the organization. We hope you can join us for Small Waves, Big Changes, and will help spread the word to your friends, families, and colleagues.

We’ll be raising funds to help provide transportation to low income older adults right here in San Diego. Access to transportation allows our clients to stay independent and make necessary life connections.

We’re also raising funds to support our Journey to Safety program. Survivors of domestic violence need our help to get to medical, legal, and counseling appointments locally, and need our help to leave the area so that they can live in places of safety and support. We provide many modes of transportation support as well as hotel stays and food during travel. This popular and needed program is being threatened by a lack of future funding, and it’s so important to continue our work in this space!

Please support us on June 25th by purchasing a ticket, making a donation, or sponsoring the event. You can also make a difference by purchasing a ticket for one of our cherished clients or volunteers at a discounted price!

From the fields of adversity to global recognition, Erica’s story of resilience, hope and triumph will leave you uplifted and remind you of the strength within our communities. Be there to hear her story live!

Harvesting Dreams: Defying the Odds to Achieve the American Dream

Erica Alfaro is an award-winning author, educational advocate and international keynote speaker. In 2019, her graduation photo –– taken in a strawberry field with her farmworker parents –– went viral and made headlines around the world.

Her story has been featured in major media outlets, including CNN, the Huffington Post and Yahoo News. She has received certificates of recognition from the U.S. Assembly and Senate, as well as a letter of recognition from former Vice President Kamala Harris. She has received multiple Latina and business leadership awards, including Constituent of the Month by the House of Representatives and 40 under 40 by Business Street.

Her story was portrayed in the docuseries Cronicas de Univision, and her book, “Harvesting Dreams,” received the International Latino Book Award and the 7th Latino “Book into Movies” award.

In 2023, the County of San Diego proclaimed October 5 as “Erica Alfaro’s Day” and a public mural of her was painted in National City to honor her as a community leader.

Erica’s graduation picture and story are now permanently featured in San Francisco’s Angel Island Immigration Museum.
