Help a Traumatized Family Find Safety and Stability

Tax deductible
A family in our community is living through every parent’s worst nightmare — and they urgently need our support.

Just days ago, ICE officers entered their home without warning. It was early morning. The children were still waking up, rubbing their eyes, holding onto their blankets — when armed agents suddenly filled their living space. The kids screamed. They cried. They hid behind their parents as officers moved through their home.

No child should ever witness something so terrifying.
No parent should ever have to stay strong while their own children shake in their arms.

Since that moment, life has completely changed for this family.

The children can’t sleep. They jump at even small noises. They’re afraid to play alone or stay in their own rooms. Their parents are doing everything they can to comfort them, but they themselves are emotionally and financially overwhelmed. This family needs immediate support to regain stability and begin healing from this traumatic experience.

This fundraiser will help them cover their most urgent needs:

Emergency housing and relocation, because the children no longer feel safe in the home where the raid occurred

Therapy and trauma support for the kids and parents

Basic living expenses, as the family is struggling to stay afloat in the aftermath

This is a loving, hardworking family who never expected to be thrust into such fear and chaos. Their children did not deserve this, and they need a community to help them feel safe again.

Your donation — no matter the amount — will go directly to help this family rebuild their sense of security and stability. Even sharing this fundraiser makes a meaningful difference.

Please stand with this family during one of the most vulnerable and frightening moments of their lives. Together, we can help them heal.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your compassion and support.
