From a Father’s Heart, Let's Bring Santiago Home

My name is Rafael Guillen and I’m a single father doing everything I can to bring my son home. He’s 17 years old — kind, respectful, full of potential, and has always tried to do the right thing. He dreams of college, a career, and making a difference. But now, through no fault of his own, he’s caught in a legal situation that could change the course of his life. I know my son’s heart. He doesn’t belong where he is, and he deserves a chance to be heard, to be defended properly, and to move forward with his life. I’m asking for help because I can’t do this alone. We need a strong legal defense, but I simply don’t have the funds to afford the lawyer he needs. If you’re a parent, or if you’ve ever fought for someone you love, I hope you’ll understand. Any support — means the world to us. Thank you for reading and for caring.
