My name is Lara Jones and I am organizing this fundraiser for Adriana and her family. I was introduced to Adriana through an online connection after following the coverage provided by Lidia Terrazas on families detained in Dilley. After speaking with Adriana on the phone, I heard her heartbreaking story: while detained, her spouse and children were denied medical care and access to clean water, even though her 5-year-old son suffers from kidney problems.

After being released, Adriana and her family lost everything. They are now living in their car with their two children, trying to start over after two months of detention. The funds raised here will go directly into their bank account to help them secure a place to live, buy clothing and food, cover other basic living necessities, and obtain health insurance—especially since the family is sick and the youngest child needs his kidneys checked.

They committed no crime, yet they were locked up and treated with such cruelty. While they are grateful to have been released, they now have to start from scratch. They desperately need to secure a safe place to live with their children so they don't have to keep sleeping in their car, and obtain health insurance so they can take care of their health and get their youngest boy's kidneys checked. Any support you can offer will help them rebuild and find hope again.
