Families in Crisis After Sudden ICE Arrests-Please Help

Hello, my name is Tricia, and I'm starting this GoFundMe to support two families in Carpinteria, CA, who are facing an unimaginable crisis. Both families had their husbands and fathers suddenly taken by ICE, leaving them heartbroken and struggling to stay afloat.

All funds raised will go directly to these families to help cover essential needs, such as rent, groceries, legal fees, and other urgent expenses, as they navigate this traumatic situation.

These are hardworking, kind families with young children who are now trying to cope with the pain of separation and uncertainty. One father was taken in broad daylight from a grocery store parking lot. The ICE agents refused to provide identification or badge numbers. There was no warning, no explanation, just a devastating loss.

Our school and local community are in shock and mourning. These men are not criminals; they are beloved fathers, husbands, and neighbors.

If you feel moved to help, any donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Thank you for standing with these families in their time of need.
