Ayuda a un Padre a Volver a Casa con Sus Hijos
Hoy dos niños pequeños necesitan a su papá

Ainoha tiene 3 años. Axel apenas tiene 1.

Cada día preguntan por su papá.

El 23 de febrero de 2026, su padre, Jorfrank Lugo, fue detenido por ICE cuando asistía a su entrevista anual, una cita a la que siempre acudió con responsabilidad desde que llegó a Estados Unidos.

Jorfrank es un padre venezolano, esposo dedicado y el sostén de su hogar.

Hace casi cuatro años llegó a Missouri junto a su esposa Daniela buscando seguridad y un futuro digno para su familia. Aquí nacieron sus dos hijos, y con esfuerzo y trabajo constante logró incluso comprar su propia casa para brindarles estabilidad.

Quienes lo conocen saben quién es realmente Jorfrank:

• Un padre amoroso y presente
• Un esposo comprometido
• Un hombre trabajador y responsable
• Una persona de corazón noble y valores firmes

Nunca ha cometido delitos y siempre ha cumplido con la ley.

Actualmente él y su esposa son solicitantes de asilo y en espera de su entrevista. Sin embargo, su detención ha dejado a su familia enfrentando una situación emocional y financiera extremadamente difícil.

Daniela, dedicada al cuidado de sus dos pequeños hijos, ahora lucha sola para mantener a su familia mientras intenta defender legalmente el caso de su esposo.

Para sus hijos, Jorfrank no es un caso migratorio.

Es simplemente su papá.

Los fondos recaudados serán utilizados para cubrir:

• Honorarios de abogados de inmigración
• Procesos legales necesarios para defender su caso

Cómo puedes marcar la diferencia
Tu donación no es solo dinero.
Es esperanza.
Es estabilidad.
Es la posibilidad de que dos niños vuelvan a abrazar a su papá en casa.
Si no puedes donar, por favor comparte esta campaña. Eso también salva.
Gracias por tu compasión, tu empatía y tu corazón solidario


Two small children are waiting for their dad. Ainoha is 3 years old. Axel just turned 1. Every day, they ask where their father is. On February 23, 2026, Jorfrank Lugo was detained by ICE while attending his required annual check-in appointment — something he had consistently complied with since arriving in the United States. He was not arrested for committing a crime. He was detained while waiting for his immigration process to move forward.

Who Is Jorfrank? Jorfrank is a devoted and hands-on father, a loving husband, and the sole financial provider for his family. He is a hardworking man with no criminal record. Nearly four years ago, he came to Missouri with his wife Daniela seeking safety and stability. Their two children were born here. Through steady work and determination, he was even able to purchase a home to give his family security. He and his wife are currently asylum applicants awaiting their interview. To his children, he is not an immigration case. He is simply Dad.

Why We Need Your Help: Since becoming a mother, Daniela has dedicated herself full-time to caring for their children. With Jorfrank detained, the family has suddenly lost its only source of income while facing urgent legal expenses. Time is critical. The sooner legal action can be taken, the greater the chance he can fight his case and return home.

How Funds Will Be Used: Your support will help cover immigration attorney fees, bond request and related legal filings, and court and case processing costs.

How You Can Make a Difference: Your donation is more than financial support. It is hope for two children. It is stability for a mother trying to hold everything together. It is a step toward reuniting a family. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign. Visibility matters more than you know. Thank you for standing with this family during one of the most difficult moments of their lives.
