Help Alvaro Stay Safe in the United States

Donation protected
Our beloved cousin Alvaro De La Torre needs our community's help in his fight to stay in the United States - quite literally, a battle for his life!

Alvaro is more than just a name or a case number. He's a brother, uncle, cousin, friend, and caretaker - his character, work, and contributions to the family and community are valuable. He's someone who goes out of his way for his family and friends. To our family, he represents hope, resilience, and the American dream that so many of us share.

Alvaro was recently detained by ICE, and we are devastated but not defeated. Despite following legal procedures and working toward his asylum case, he now faces the terrifying possibility of deportation to Mexico - a country where he cannot safely return.

**The reality is stark: Alvaro has received credible death threats from cartel members in Mexico.** Sending him back would not be deportation - it would be a death sentence. He came to the United States seeking the safety and opportunity that should be available to those fleeing persecution and violence.

Why We Need Your Help!

**The legal fees to fight his case are overwhelming, but giving up is not an option.** We need to raise funds to cover:

- Immigration attorney fees for his asylum case
- Legal representation throughout the detention and court process
- Filing fees and court costs
- Any additional legal expenses that arise

Every dollar you contribute directly supports Alvaro's legal defense and his chance to remain safe in the country he calls home.

This isn't just about paperwork or legal technicalities. This is about a human life. Alvaro fears for his safety in Mexico because of very real, documented threats against him. Your contribution helps ensure he has the strongest possible legal representation to present his case for asylum and protection.

**We believe in justice, we believe in family, and we believe in giving people a fighting chance when their life is on the line.**

- **Donate any amount** - every contribution, whether $5 or $500, brings us closer to our goal

Our Promise

We commit to using every dollar raised responsibly and transparently for Alvaro's legal defense. We will provide updates on his case as we're able, and we will never forget the kindness and generosity of everyone who helps during this critical time.

**Thank you for believing that everyone deserves a chance at safety, dignity, and hope.**

*Time is of the essence. Immigration cases move quickly, and we need to act fast to secure the best possible legal representation for Alvaro. Your support today could literally save his life.*
