Citizenship To Keep A Family Together

Donation protected
I met Zander in summer sixteen. On our first date two drunk women thought he was Aziz Ansari. They asked to take a picture with him and he's so polite he agreed to do it. As they were walking away I heard them say "he actually doesn't look like Aziz".  I was blown away by how genuine he is to everyone he comes in contact with. Zander is the most loving and kind hearted person I have ever met in my life.
 
Fastforward four years and we have a beautiful three year old daughter who was diagnosed with autism last year. He prioritizes his time to be in every therapy session. Zander supports me while I attend college. He's been a rock through all of our ups and downs. 

Now our family needs your help. We have been dealing with citizenship complications for a few years now, in 2016 the application cost $600. After 4 years of Trump the cost is $1100. Zander has been a permanent resident since he was five years old. He was born in a refugee camp in Djibouti and would be returned there where none of his family lives and does not speak the language. being deported is not an option. His citizenship application was rejected because he got caught drinking when he was underaged. We are in desperate need for money to hire an immigration lawyer in order to prove to the system that he is "of good moral character".  

We need $4,500 to get a lawyer. Any amount would be greatly appreciated.
