<div>​<strong>A Fathers Fight</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>​We are urgently asking for help to raise $10,000 to secure immediate legal counsel for our beloved Dakota. </strong>Dakota is a dedicated father facing deportation, which threatens to tear him away from his family—including his little girl and his second child who is on the way.
</div>
<div>​<strong>This is not just about immigration; this is about keeping a family whole.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​Dakota had been working through the legal process to obtain his green card and establish permanent status, but faced the inability to cover the large filing fees. <strong>Despite this, he is now facing deportation.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​Earlier this morning, my nephew Dakota was detained by ICE. The situation was terrifying: agents in all black rushed him into an unmarked car with guns pointed at his face. This sudden, aggressive action is devastating!
</div>
<div>​​Dakota's only hope now is to hire specialized immigration legal counsel immediately to appeal this deportation order and fight to be reunited with his family.​ Every day that passes makes it harder to bring him home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>​Funds will go to covering the necessary legal fees and costs </strong>for his attorney to begin work on his appeal. We must raise these funds as quickly as possible<strong> </strong>to give Dakota the<strong> </strong>legal support he deserves to argue his case.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​<strong>Please help us fight to keep him with his children, they need their dad!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Update​ for all of our incredible and generous supporters: Thank you for your compassion! Your donations have been invaluable</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have raised about half of our initial $3,500 goal, bringing us closer to securing the <strong>upfront retainer </strong>needed for immediate legal counsel.
</div>
<div>​However, as the legal battle progresses, we have received a clearer and more comprehensive assessment of the fight ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​<strong>We are increasing our campaign goal from $3,500 to $10,000.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>​The initial $3,500 was only enough to get the attorney started.</strong> <strong>The total anticipated cost for specialized legal defense is now estimated to be $15,000</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​To ensure Dakota has the legal resources necessary to challenge this; cover essential court fees, and fund crucial counsel hours, we need to raise at least $10,000. This is the only way to give him the best chance to win his case and be reunited with his little girl and unborn child.
</div>
<div>​Please know that <strong>every dollar raised</strong> goes directly toward these essential legal fees. We implore you to <strong>continue sharing his story and standing with Dakota </strong>in this fight to keep his family whole.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​<strong>Thank you all for your support in this critical battle! </strong>
</div>
