Maria’s baby is in a very serious condition; her eldest son just started high school; and in late December, her husband was abducted by ICE.

Maria and her husband, José, are Mayan from Guatemala. They were forced to migrate to the USA 20 years ago. Their dreams for a better future for their kids took a turn after the birth of their second son, who was diagnosed with a rare incurable disease.

Today, Maria provides full-time, unpaid hospice care for her baby son. She depended on her husband for income, and ICE took him away. Medical bills, food needs, and rent expenses continue to pile up on top of the legal and financial complications ICE caused her family.

We ask that you provide any support you can to a family whose roots are deeply native to this continent, to this land. Each donation will help Maria and her family as they navigate the awful harm done to them by the state, covering living expenses, legal expenses, and medical support.

Thank you for any generosity you can share with this family.

Also, please share widely. We, as a community, can make a massive difference by showing up for one another.
