A hardworking immigrant family in South Minneapolis is facing a devastating setback after their only car was stolen, cutting off their ability to work and provide for their young children during an already difficult time for many in our community. This family has also been navigating the broader impact of recent heightened immigration enforcement activity across our state, which has created fear, instability, and disruption for many immigrant families. During this time, they have not been able to work, adding to their hardship. Despite these challenges, they have continued to work hard and show up for their community.

Both parents rely on their vehicle for gig work and house cleaning across the city. This isn’t just transportation, it’s their livelihood. Without it, they are now unable to get to jobs, earn income, or cover basic needs like rent and groceries. I’ve personally experienced the care and dedication this mother brings to her work, she has been a trusted support in my own home and a vital part of our community. This family gives so much, now they need our support.

For privacy and safety, I am unable to share the family’s names or images, but I am asking for your trust. 100% of donations will go directly to supporting this family. We are raising funds to help them purchase a reliable used car so they can return to work, and to cover urgent expenses like rent, food, legal fees, and basic needs during this crisis. For families in the gig economy, losing a car means losing everything. Together, we can help restore stability, dignity, and a path forward. Please give what you can, and share widely. Community care is critical right now.
