To anyone who has been close to me or my family, it is well known that my father was the most dedicated and hard-working man. He brought a smile to everyone’s face and was always the person you could call for anything at any time. He loved his children deeply and would do anything for his family. For the past 25 years, he has proudly called himself an American. He loves his country and appreciates how it has provided for his family.

Unfortunately, on the morning of July 24, 2025, my father was wrongfully detained by ICE. He was taken from his own driveway as he was headed to the nail salon where he works 6 days a week. Alone, and without the chance to say goodbye. The funds raised will aid in covering the legal fees necessary to investigate my father’s wrongful detention and will help support my family and me as we navigate the uncertain future of potentially living without him. Any support would mean the world to our family as we know that we are not the only ones to be affected during this time.
