Bring Andres C. Lopez Ayala Home: Your Help Needed

Dear friends, family, and compassionate supporters,

We are reaching out with heavy hearts during one of the most challenging times our family has faced. Our beloved husband and father, Andres C. Lopez Ayala, has been in immigration custody for over a month. His sudden detention has left a deep void in our lives, and we urgently need your support.

Our Story

Andres is not only a loving husband but also the devoted father to our three wonderful children: Natalia, Liam, and Ian. He has always been our rock, working hard to provide for us and ensure our family's well-being. His absence is profoundly felt every day, from the empty seat at our dinner table to the tearful faces of our children who miss his warmth and guidance.

Our Current Situation

Since Andres was taken into custody, our family has faced mounting financial, emotional, and psychological challenges:

* Immigration Custody: Andres is currently detained, and the uncertainty of his future weighs heavily on us.

* Legal and Immigration Costs: We urgently need funds for critical immigration attorney fees. High-quality legal representation is essential to ensure Andres’s well-being and to fight for his release.

* Travel Expenses: Recently, we have been forced to travel extensively to support Andres during this ordeal. This includes:

* Traveling from our home in Texas to Denver to visit Andres at his original detention facility.

* Driving back to our hometown in California to await further news about Andres’s relocation to a new facility in Washington, as communicated in the last few days.

* Basic Living Expenses: With Andres detained, the burden of managing day-to-day expenses—housing, food, transportation, car payments, and utilities—has fallen solely on me.

* Emotional and Mental Health Support: The toll on our family is immense. The children miss their father dearly, and the emotional strain affects every one of us daily.

Why We Need Your Help

The cost of legal fees, extensive travel, and maintaining our household while grappling with uncertainty has grown overwhelming. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us hope and makes it possible for us to:

* Secure effective legal representation for Andres.

* Cover the significant travel expenses necessary to remain connected and advocate for his rights.

* Provide for our family’s basic needs during this distressing period.

* Immigration attorney fees.

* Travel expenses for vital visits.

* Basic living expenses to sustain our family.

* Mental health support for the well-being of all family members.
