ICE Deportation of Friend's Child

Donation protected
I posted this on Facebook and people have asked how to help, so I set this up for my friends. They have already are auctioning off their car but it is not enough.  Their child (I say child because my older kids are this age) was picked up for a minor thing that many young people do, and because it is a crime, the child is now in ICE custody waiting deportation to a birth country that is a country by birth only. The child does not speak the language there, and has never been away from home.

This is a kid that enjoys trying new food, but appreciates pizza most of all, collects Japanese figurines, and dreamed of a career in cosmetology. 

I would be losing my mind if ICE grabbed my kids and sent them to the border of Ethiopia or China without money or a phone - and even without saying what day it would happen. My friends need an attorney and a way for their child to get a hotel at the border if deportation happens soon, so this fundraiser is to help them.
