                      Severe blisters are one of the most frequent medical problems we see in people crossing the desert.  Often the severity of blisters is like a severe burn on the sole of the foot.  It slows people down and they are unable to keep up with their group.  When left behind, they are at high risk of dying in the desert.  Good socks can prevent blisters. Thick socks are needed, preferably non-cotton; a breatheable blend of synthetic material or a combination of cotton and synthetics.  You can drop off new or clean socks at a Samaritan meeting or email info@tucsonsamaritans.org to arrange a drop-off time.  This can save a life.

                      Since July 1, 2002, Samaritans has been a voice of compassion, a healing presence in the Arizona desert. It is an organization comprised of  people of conscience and faith who render humanitarian aid to migrants in distress in the Tucson Sector of the Arizona/Mexico border.
