A Mother’s Love. A Son’s Future. A Race Against Time.

A Mother’s Love. A Son’s Future. A Race Against Time.

Meet Keisha, a devoted mother; James, her brilliant 17-year-old son; and Jazzy, her spirited 8-year-old daughter. Keisha is married to a U.S. citizen, giving her and her two children a legal pathway to permanent residency and, eventually, citizenship through a family petition. But time and money are standing in their way.

The most urgent part of this petition? James must be included before his 18th birthday. After that, his chance to be petitioned alongside his mother and sister could be lost or delayed for years.

James is no ordinary teenager. At just 17, he has graduated high school two years early and is currently working toward technical certifications with aspirations of earning a degree in technology. He’s a young man with vision, discipline, and potential—but without your help, he could be left behind.

Jazzy, the youngest, is a bright light in their lives—smart, loving, and kind, with a natural curiosity and a heart that brings joy to everyone she meets. She dreams big, plays hard, and loves deeper. Like her brother, she deserves the opportunity to grow up in a country where her potential can flourish.

Here’s the total cost of this immigration journey:

U.S. Homeland Security Fees: $4,050

Required Medical Exams: $1,425

Immigration Lawyer Fees: $12,800

The good news is that the family’s attorney has agreed to file the petition once Phase 1 is covered, which includes:

$2,375 for filing fees

$3,000 down payment toward legal services

With just $5,375, the lawyer can file the paperwork immediately, securing James's future before his critical 18th birthday. Afterward, the remaining $12,900 can be paid in installments.

This family isn’t asking for a handout—they’re asking for a chance. Keisha and her children have persevered through hardships with courage, humility, and grace. They believe in the promise of America, in honest work, and in contributing meaningfully to the community they now call home.

They just need the opportunity.

Your gift—large or small—makes a life-changing difference:

$25 gets them closer to the medical exam fees

$100 helps cover a portion of the legal retainer

$500 could be the final amount that lets James file before his birthday

Every donation counts. Every share helps. Every prayer matters.

If you've ever believed in second chances, in strong families, or in the promise of tomorrow—this is your chance to be part of a real story with a real impact. Together, we can make sure Keisha, James, and Jazzy don’t miss this window of hope.
