I'm raising funds for my mom, Araceli Ortiz. On September 23 at 8:06 a.m., I received a call that federal ICE agents had detained her. She is now in custody, and our family is doing everything we can to bring her home.

This has left us devastated and upset, and we are trying to stay strong through all of this. The need is urgent, and we are asking for help now as we face the fight ahead.

The funds from this fundraiser will go toward lawyer fees as we work to bring Araceli home to her family. Any donation, no matter the amount, would mean so much to us right now. If you are not able to give, sharing this fundraiser would also help support our family during this painful time.
