Ivanka Trump donated $50,000 on June 19 to Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, to help ease the suffering of children who had been separated from their parents at the southern border.
Pastor Jack Graham claimed Ivanka saw his June 19 tweets about fixing the “terrible immigration crisis” and reached out to him directly, Fox News reported Wednesday. He also thanked President Donald Trump for taking action to keep families together.
We @Prestonwood are currently working to provide solutions to care for children during this terrible immigration crisis. Our Espanol ministry let by Gilberto Corredera is stepping up to the challenge to express the love of Jesus. We are broken-hearted and determined to act

Thank you Mr President @POTUS for responding to the immigration crisis with compassion and conviction. Your commitment to American values and security displays the character of your presidency

“The beauty of America and the people in our church is that we don’t have to wait for our politicians to sort out their disagreements in order to do what is right,” Graham said in a press release cited by The Dallas Morning News. “Our country is facing complex issues that will take time to fix, but this shouldn’t delay or stop our response to the needs of others.”
“What the kids really need most is someone to brighten their day. They need someone to give them hope,” he continued in the news release. “Our plan is to create an event for the children that will encourage them and make them smile. Of course, we will also focus on how we can provide financial aid to families to assist them in their situation.”
