<div>Help Bring Erik Téllez Home to His Family
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On December 11th, our world changed. My uncle, Erik Téllez, was unexpectedly detained in North Portland by ICE. In a matter of seconds, a loving husband, father, and provider was taken away — leaving his wife and three children heartbroken, scared, and without the support they depend on every day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What makes this even more painful is that Erik’s two older children, 17 and 15 years old, were with him when it happened. They witnessed everything. This moment has been deeply traumatizing for them — something no child should ever have to see. His youngest baby, is only six months old, she’s still waiting for her dad to come home. She doesn’t understand what’s happening, but she feels the absence of the father who adores her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Erik is the one who provided for his entire family. Without him, his wife and kids are now struggling to cover rent, bills, food, and basic needs while trying to cope emotionally with this sudden crisis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are creating this GoFundMe to raise $40,000 to help cover:
</div>
<div>•	Attorney fees
</div>
<div>•	Bond fees
</div>
<div>•	Urgent family expenses (rent, food, utilities, baby essentials)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar brings us closer to bringing Erik home and giving this family hope during the hardest moment of their lives. If you cannot donate, even sharing this page helps more than you know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Erik is a hardworking man, a loving father, and someone who has always put his family first. His children need him. His wife needs him. We need him home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for reading, donating, and supporting our family during this painful time. ❤️

<div>Ayuda a Reunir a Erik Téllez con Su Familia
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El 11 de diciembre, nuestras vidas cambiaron por completo. Mi tío, Erik Téllez, fue detenido inesperadamente por ICE en North Portland. En cuestión de segundos, un esposo, padre y proveedor amoroso fue arrebatado de su familia — dejando a su esposa y a sus tres hijos con el corazón roto, con miedo y sin el apoyo que dependen todos los días.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lo que hace esta situación aún más dolorosa es que sus dos hijos mayores, de 17 y 15 años, estaban con él cuando todo pasó. Ellos presenciaron todo. Este momento ha sido profundamente traumático para ellos — algo que ningún niño debería tener que vivir. Su bebé de solo seis meses también espera a que su papá regrese a casa. Ella no entiende lo que está sucediendo, pero siente la ausencia del padre que tanto la adora.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Erik es quien mantenía a toda su familia. Sin él, su esposa y sus hijos ahora están luchando para cubrir la renta, los biles, la comida y necesidades básicas, mientras intentan sobrellevar emocionalmente esta crisis repentina.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Estamos creando este GoFundMe para recaudar $40,000 para ayudar a cubrir:
</div>
<div>•	Gastos del abogado
</div>
<div>•	Pago de la fianza
</div>
<div>•	Gastos urgentes de la familia (renta, comida, utilidades, cosas esenciales para la bebé)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada dólar nos acerca más a traer a Erik de regreso a casa y darle esperanza a esta familia en el momento más difícil de sus vidas. Si no puedes donar, compartir esta página también ayuda más de lo que te imaginas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Erik es un hombre trabajador, un padre amoroso y alguien que siempre ha puesto a su familia en primer lugar. Sus hijos lo necesitan. Su esposa lo necesita. Lo queremos de vuelta en casa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias de todo corazón por leer, donar y apoyar a nuestra familia durante este momento tan doloroso. ❤️
</div>
