Noel aka Domingo is a proud Mexican father, husband, grandfather and hardworking member of our community. As a small business owner, he has dedicated himself to providing for his family and serving others with honesty, perseverance, and love. Providing jobs to those who may be in need. He is the heart and soul of his household—the breadwinner and role model for his beautiful family.

Family means everything to Noel. Whether it’s long hours spent working to keep food on the table, or the little moments of joy he shares with his kids, he shows what it means to live with courage, responsibility, and kindness. His loved ones describe him as generous, humble, and someone who always puts others first.

On September 1st, everything changed. Noel was detained—not because he did anything wrong, but simply for trying to calm someone during a difficult situation as a bystander. That very same night, he was taken to a detention center. In an instant, a father, husband, grandpa, uncle and provider was torn away from the family that depends on him so deeply. His family is now left facing unimaginable uncertainty, while holding onto the hope of bringing him home.

This family urgently needs our support. They are doing everything they can to secure an immigration lawyer who will fight for Noel’s freedom and protect their future together. But they cannot do this alone.

Now is the time for us, as a community, to come together and stand with them. Your contribution—no matter the size—can help reunite him with his children, a husband with his wife, and give this family the chance to continue building the life they have worked so hard for.

Thank you for your consideration. You can make a profound impact on this family and all their relations.
