Help Us Bring Our Dad Home

Donation protected
Our dad has been in the U.S. for over 20 years. He’s worked so hard to give us a better life and has never been in any trouble — no criminal record, nothing. He’s always done his best for our family and community.

On June 2nd, 2025, he was pulled over and taken by immigration. We still haven’t been allowed to talk to him or see him, and no one will give us clear answers about why he’s being held. With everything going on right now, it feels like families like ours are being targeted and torn apart more than ever.

This has been really hard on all of us, but especially our little brother, who’s only 13. He needs his dad. We all do.

We’ve hired a lawyer to represent him at his first court hearing and to help us fight, but immigration cases are expensive and complicated. We’re trying to raise $10,000 to help cover:
• His legal defense,
• Possible bond money if they allow him to come home while his case is pending,
• Other costs like government paperwork and filings.

We know times are tough, but if you’re able to donate or even just share this with others, it would mean the world to us. Every little bit helps us get closer to bringing our dad home where he belongs.

Thank you for reading and for being here for our family.
