Hi, my name is Adamary. I’m making this because my mom got taken by ICE October 26th, and right now we’re just trying to do whatever we can to bring her home.

My mom is honestly one of the best people I know. She’s a single mom who’s always taken care of me and my brother, even when she barely had anything for herself. She came to the U.S. on a visa, just trying to give us a better life — a real chance. She’s not a bad person at all. She’s always worked hard, loved her family, and tried to do the right thing.

If you know my mom, you know how she is — she could make anyone laugh. No matter how bad things were, she always found a way to make it feel lighter. She’d make a joke, say something funny, and suddenly it didn’t hurt as bad anymore. That’s just who she is — she can turn the darkest days into something you can smile through.

We’re trying to raise money for her bail, which could be anywhere between $1,500 and $25,000. We don’t have that kind of money, but we’re not giving up. We just need help.

Anything helps — a donation, a share, even just kind words. We just want our mom home. She’s our heart, our laughter, our whole world.

Thank you for reading this and for caring about someone you might not even know. It means more than you think.
