<div>We are a community group supporting individuals in Medford who are impacted by ICE presence in our community. We are fundraising for our neighbors; all funds go directly to the families.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Family X is preparing for upcoming immigration court proceedings. They are seeking support from their community to afford legal help to keep their family of two adults and one teenager together, and to cover basic household expenses while ICE presence makes it too dangerous for one of the adults to keep working.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For their safety we are not sharing many details about this family, but please read their statement below, donate if you can, and share this fundraiser in solidarity with our neighbors.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>In their own words</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our family is going through one of the most difficult moments of our lives. We are facing days filled with fear, insecurity, and extreme vulnerability.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Currently, only one family member is working, which makes it impossible to cover all basic household expenses alone, such as rent, electricity, gas, and food. Every bill brings new anxiety and uncertainty.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To make matters worse, we are also struggling to afford the costs of an immigration process, including attorney fees, at a time when we are already emotionally and financially overwhelmed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With heavy hearts, we share our story. We do not want to take advantage of anyone, but at this moment we have no other option. We are humbly asking for help to get through this difficult time, regain our dignity, and restore hope for better days ahead.
