Help Bring Our Family Back Together 
 
Hello, my name is Jesica Aranda. 

My husband and I have an 8-month-old baby boy named Ismael Aranda. My husband Andres has always been a hardworking, respectful, and loving man. He has always done everything he can to provide for our family and support us. 
 
On June 27, we were on a family trip in Laughlin on the Arizona side of the river. We borrowed a jet ski, and my husband was driving while I was the passenger. We were in a no-wave zone where the speed limit was 5 mph. At one point, my husband let off the throttle and we were simply floating. I asked him to speed up a little so we wouldn’t just drift. As he gently accelerated, law enforcement stopped us because they believed we were speeding and had created a wave in the no-wave zone. 

Since my husband primarily speaks Spanish, I spoke with the officers. I explained that we were not speeding. They asked if I had seen the speedometer, and I told them I had not because I was holding onto my husband while we were riding. After the stop, the situation became much more serious. 

My husband was arrested, and officers asked about his immigration status. He is now in custody and has an ICE hold. His immigration waiver has already been approved, and we were simply waiting for his immigration interview. We spoke with his immigration attorney, who explained that we now need to hire an attorney who handles ICE detention matters. 

This has turned our lives upside down. 

I am now trying to care for our 8-month-old son on my own while also helping my father, who suffers from kidney failure and must attend dialysis three times a week. is unable to work due to his medical condition.My husband has always been our provider and our biggest source of support. Without him, we are struggling emotionally and financially. 

We are asking for help to cover legal fees, travel expenses, and basic living expenses while we work to bring our family back together. 

Any donation, no matter how small, will help us during this incredibly difficult time. If you are unable to donate, sharing our story would mean the world to us. 

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support. 
 
With gratitude, 

Jesica Aranda

Ayude a Reunir a Nuestra Familia Nuevamente
 
Hola, mi nombre es Jesica Aranda. Mi esposo y yo tenemos un bebé de 8 meses llamado Ismael Aranda. Mi esposo Andrés siempre ha sido un hombre trabajador, respetuoso y amoroso. Siempre ha hecho todo lo posible para mantener a nuestra familia y apoyarnos.
 
El 27 de junio, estábamos en un viaje familiar en Laughlin, del lado de Arizona del río. Pedimos prestada una moto acuática, y mi esposo estaba conduciendo mientras yo era la pasajera. Estábamos en una zona donde no se permiten olas y el límite de velocidad era de 5 mph. En un momento, mi esposo soltó el acelerador y simplemente estábamos flotando. Le pedí que acelerara un poco para que no siguiéramos a la deriva. Cuando aceleró suavemente, las autoridades nos detuvieron porque creyeron que íbamos a exceso de velocidad y que habíamos creado una ola en la zona donde no se permiten olas.

Como mi esposo habla principalmente español, yo hablé con los oficiales. Les expliqué que no íbamos a exceso de velocidad. Me preguntaron si había visto el velocímetro, y les dije que no porque estaba sujetándome de mi esposo mientras íbamos en la moto acuática. Después de la detención, la situación se volvió mucho más seria.

Mi esposo fue arrestado, y los oficiales preguntaron sobre su estatus migratorio. Ahora se encuentra bajo custodia y tiene una retención de ICE. Su exención migratoria ya fue aprobada, y simplemente estábamos esperando su entrevista de inmigración. Hablamos con su abogado de inmigración, quien explicó que ahora necesitamos contratar a un abogado que maneje asuntos de detención por parte de ICE.

Esto ha cambiado nuestras vidas por completo.

Ahora estoy tratando de cuidar a nuestro hijo de 8 meses sola mientras también ayudo a mi padre, quien sufre de insuficiencia renal y debe asistir a diálisis tres veces por semana. No puede trabajar debido a su condición médica. Mi esposo siempre ha sido nuestro proveedor y nuestra mayor fuente de apoyo. Sin él, estamos luchando emocional y financieramente.

Estamos pidiendo ayuda para cubrir los gastos legales, los gastos de viaje y los gastos básicos de vida mientras trabajamos para reunir a nuestra familia nuevamente.

Cualquier donación, sin importar lo pequeña que sea, nos ayudará durante este momento increíblemente difícil. Si no puede donar, compartir nuestra historia significaría mucho para nosotros.

Desde el fondo de nuestros corazones, gracias por su bondad, sus oraciones y su apoyo.
 
Con gratitud,

Jesica Aranda
