Our family is reaching out for help during the most difficult moment of our lives. Our mom, Patricia a loving mother, daughter, sister, and friend — is currently being held in an ICE detention facility. She is 52 years old and the devoted mother of three daughters, Jenny, Brittney, and Lindsey. She has lived in the United States for 32 years, with her entire family here, including her U.S. citizen daughters and parents. This country has been her home for decades, and she has never had a criminal record. She was taken during a routine check-in, and we are fighting every day to bring her back to where she belongs: home with her family.
Our mom is the heart of our family and the kind of person who makes the world softer just by being in it. She has always worked to better herself, no matter the obstacles she faced. After arriving in the U.S., she enrolled in english classes, earned her high school diploma and GED. She is intelligent, funny, and endlessly giving — the person you can call at 3 a.m. in an emergency and she will show up without hesitation.
Her passions are simple but meaningful: reading, cooking, baking bread to share with neighbors, knitting scarves and beanies for friends and family, tending to flowers (her favorite color is pink), and being deeply involved in her daughters’ education. She attended every school performance, every parent-teacher conference, every “coffee with the principal,” and volunteered at our schools whenever she could. Her love for her family is at the center of everything she does.
Being separated from us has been incredibly painful for her and for all of us. She is not a danger, not a criminal — she is a mother who needs her family, and a family who desperately needs her back.
We are raising funds to cover the overwhelming costs associated with her case. Immigration emergencies are expensive, and your support will help us pay for:
Legal fees to fight for her release and case resolution
Household bills that continue to gather while she is unable to work
Her detainee account, so she can call her family and purchase basic commissary items like hygiene products and snacks — small comforts that mean the world in such a difficult place
Any contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to reuniting our family. If you cannot donate, please share this page so her story can reach others.
Thank you for taking the time to read about our mom. Thank you for helping us fight to bring her home. Your kindness means more than you know.

Nuestra familia está pidiendo ayuda en el momento más difícil de nuestras vidas. Nuestra mamá, Patricia, una madre, hija, hermana y amiga llena de amor, está siendo detenida actualmente en un centro de detención de ICE. Tiene 52 años y es la madre dedicada de tres hijas: Jenny, Brittney y Lindsey. Ha vivido en los Estados Unidos durante 32 años, con toda su familia aquí, incluidas sus hijas ciudadanas estadounidenses y sus padres. Este país ha sido su hogar por décadas, y nunca ha tenido antecedentes penales. Fue detenida durante una cita rutinaria, y estamos luchando cada día para traerla de regreso a donde pertenece: a casa con su familia.

Nuestra mamá es el corazón de nuestra familia y el tipo de persona que hace el mundo más cálido simplemente con su presencia. Siempre ha trabajado para superarse, sin importar los obstáculos. Después de llegar a los Estados Unidos, se inscribió en clases de inglés y obtuvo su diploma de secundaria y su GED. Es inteligente, divertida y generosa —la persona a la que puedes llamar a las 3 a.m. en una emergencia, y ella llegará sin dudarlo.

Sus pasiones son simples pero significativas: leer, cocinar, hornear pan para compartir con los vecinos y amigo, tejer bufandas y gorros para amigos y familia, cuidar flores (su color favorito es el rosa) y participar profundamente en la educación de sus hijas. Asistió a todas las presentaciones escolares, a cada conferencia de padres y maestros, a cada “café con la directora”, y se ofrecía como voluntaria en nuestras escuelas siempre que podía. Su amor por su familia está en el centro de todo lo que hace.

Estar separada de nosotros ha sido increíblemente doloroso para ella y para todos nosotros. Ella no es un peligro, no es una criminal —es una madre que necesita a su familia, y una familia que la necesita desesperadamente de vuelta.

Estamos recaudando fondos para cubrir los abrumadores costos asociados con su caso. Las emergencias de inmigración son costosas, y su apoyo nos ayudará a pagar:

-Gastos legales para luchar por su liberación y la resolución de su caso

-Las cuentas del hogar que siguen acumulándose mientras ella no puede trabajar

-Su cuenta en detención, para que pueda llamar a su familia y comprar artículos básicos de la comisaría, como productos de higiene y bocadillos, pequeños consuelos que significan mucho en un lugar tan difícil

Cualquier contribución, por pequeña que sea, nos acerca un paso más a reunir a nuestra familia. Si no puede donar, por favor comparta esta página para que su historia llegue a más personas.

Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de leer sobre nuestra mamá. Gracias por ayudarnos a luchar para traerla a casa. Su amabilidad significa más de lo que imagina.
