Reunite Gonzalo and Josie

Josie and Gonzalo were making plans for their dream wedding in 2002 when Gonzalo was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Billings, MT. Gonzalo was promptly deported to his hometown in Mexico.  Devastated but without hesitation, Josie relocated from the only home she had ever known so she could be with Gonzalo. They got married in Mexico and together they began raising their family, in spite of the stifling poverty they lived in, poverty that had driven Gonzalo to the US to begin with.. As their children reached school age however, they faced the tough decision of whether they wanted to continue to live in poverty and send their children to school only to receive a sub par education, or to split the family up so that the children could have a better foundation upon which to build their future.  Since Josie and her children moved back to Montana in 2008, they can only afford to visit Gonzalo once a year for two weeks.  This has been their normal for over a decade. With no chance at returning to the United States, there is little hope that Gonzalo would ever again get to enjoy the blessings of raising his own children.  So for now, this is what Josie and the children have to make do with.  Will you help Josie and her family reunite so they can share their first Christmas together in over a decade?
