Last week, our beloved family member Rigoberto (“Rigo”) was wrongfully taken by ICE, ripped out of his truck early Thursday morning on his way to work. His wife and three young children are heartbroken and now struggling to make ends meet. Rigo is the sole provider for his family. He is a devoted husband, a loving father, and a hardworking man who has always given everything to ensure his family’s stability and future.

Rigo came to the United States with a dream: to build a better life for his family. Those who know him, know he is a man of integrity, is kind, selfless, hard working and law-abiding, with a spotless record. Rigo has spent years working hard, supporting not only his loved ones here but also family back home. He was in the process of pursuing a path to citizenship when this opportunity was taken from ICE.

Now, his family faces an overwhelming and uncertain journey ahead, as Rigo faces possible deportation. They are preparing for expensive legal fees to fight for Rigo’s freedom, while still needing to cover rent, groceries, and daily necessities without his income.

We are asking for your help to bring Rigo home and keep his family afloat during this devastating time. Every contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward:

La semana pasada, nuestro querido familiar Rigoberto (“Rigo”) fue detenido injustamente por ICE, dejando a su esposa y a sus tres hijos pequeños con el corazón roto y luchando por salir adelante. Rigo es el único proveedor de su familia. Es un esposo devoto, un padre amoroso y un hombre trabajador que siempre ha dado todo para garantizar la estabilidad y el futuro de los suyos.

Rigo llegó a los Estados Unidos con un sueño: construir una vida mejor para su familia. Quienes lo conocen saben que es un hombre íntegro, amable, generoso, trabajador y respetuoso de la ley, con un historial impecable. Rigo ha pasado años trabajando arduamente, apoyando no solo a sus seres queridos aquí, sino también a su familia en su país natal. Estaba en proceso de obtener la ciudadanía cuando su vida cambió drásticamente en un instante.

Ahora, su familia enfrenta un camino abrumador e incierto. Se están preparando para cubrir costosos honorarios legales para luchar por la libertad de Rigo, mientras aún deben pagar la renta, los alimentos y las necesidades diarias sin su ingreso.

Les pedimos su ayuda para traer a Rigo de regreso a casa y mantener a su familia a flote durante este momento tan difícil. Cada contribución, sin importar su tamaño, se destinará directamente a:
