Help Reunite a Family

This is Makengo. This past Sunday, his wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Today, January 23, 2026, he left the hospital briefly to gather essential items for his recovering wife and their newborn.

On his way back, he was detained and arrested by ICE.

His wife is now alone at the hospital with their newborn, plus their three other children, ages 3, 6 and 11. In an instant, their family was separated, leaving them without physical or financial support during this critical time.

How You Can Help

We are raising urgent funds to help reunite Makengo with his wife and and children, and to support the family as they navigate the legal process. Your donations will go directly toward:

Legal fees, bonds, and advocacy to secure Makengo's release so he can return home to support his family.

KELIM, Makengo's baby was born on Sunday, January 18, 2026.

No amount is too small. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page with your network. This family needs the strength of their community now more than ever.

Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support.
