<div><strong><em>Update 4/6/26: </em></strong>As of the end of last year, both family members who were detained have been deported. Fortunately they were able to reunite with their younger son who has moved to stay with them. All the help they've received on this GoFundMe so far has helped immensely with getting them set up with their initial necessities - documentation, housing, food, clothing, and more.<strong> However, they need more help to really get back on their feet - to start thriving in their new lives after being uprooted from their home in Los Angeles. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These last few months they have been living in survival mode, reeling from the pain of losing the place they've called home for so long. They're struggling to figure out long-term plans and how to make ends meet. They dream of building a larger permanent home to house their family of 3 more comfortably. They also hope to afford the equipment to restart the business that kept them running in Los Angeles - food vending. <strong>They need your help to build their home and business despite everything they've endured in the last 4 months.</strong>

<div>Update 12/3/25: Of the family members who have been taken, one of them faces deportation while the other remains at a detention center waiting to fight their case. The rest of the family needs financial support for rent, food, diapers, legal fees, and relocation. Our community is working hard to help them work out the details and logistics to keep them safe.

<div>On June 24th, a LGBTQ+ Latina couple, their children, and their grandchildren were unjustly endangered and harassed in their home by Homeland Security officers who refused to identify themselves or provide a judicial warrant. The officers attempted to break into their apartment unit, ignoring the pleas of the women and children inside the home. With the support of the surrounding community, the agents were driven away, but the incident has left the family fearing for their ongoing safety, unable to work or even leave their home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This incident has plunged a multigenerational family into crisis. One member of the family, pregnant at the time of the incident, has especially been impacted. She and her child are experiencing paralyzing levels of stress, as the officers' attempted break-in caused her to fall twice on her pregnant belly. Her mental and physical health have taken tolls as the fear of being ripped away from loved ones prevented her from accessing necessary and timely health services despite her pregnancy and severe pain from the falls.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since the incident, the family has been struggling to sustain enough income to meet their essential living expenses, including rent, groceries, and diapers. Drowning in unpaid rent, the family is at high risk of losing their home and beloved Highland Park community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please support us in raising emergency funds to help this loving family keep their home and safe space! Once they're able to restore their own stability, they want to share any excess funds with other families like theirs who have been impacted by the immigration crisis in Los Angeles.
</div>

<div>En Español: El 24 de junio, una pareja latina LGBTQ+, sus hijos y sus nietos fueron injustamente puestos en peligro y acosados en su hogar por agentes del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional que se negaron a identificarse o mostrar una orden judicial. Los agentes intentaron forzar la entrada a su apartamento, ignorando las súplicas de las mujeres y niños dentro del hogar. Con el apoyo del vecindario, los agentes fueron expulsados, pero el incidente ha dejado a la familia temiendo por su seguridad continua, incapaces de trabajar o incluso salir de su casa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Este incidente ha puesto a una familia multigeneracional en crisis. Un miembro de la familia, embarazada al momento del incidente, ha sido especialmente afectada. Ella y su hijo están experimentando niveles paralizantes de estrés, ya que el intento de entrada forzada de los agentes la hizo caer dos veces sobre su vientre embarazado. Su salud mental y física se han visto afectadas, ya que el miedo de ser separada de sus seres queridos le impidió acceder a servicios de salud necesarios y oportunos a pesar de su embarazo y el dolor severo de las caídas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Desde el incidente, la familia ha estado luchando para mantener suficientes ingresos para cubrir sus gastos de vida esenciales, incluyendo alquiler, comestibles y pañales. Ahogándose en alquiler impago, la familia está en alto riesgo de perder su hogar y su querida comunidad de Highland Park.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>¡Por favor, apóyennos en recaudar fondos de emergencia para ayudar a esta familia amorosa a mantener su hogar y espacio seguro! Una vez que puedan restaurar su propia estabilidad, quieren compartir cualquier exceso de fondos con otras familias como la suya que han sido afectadas por la crisis migratoria en Los Ángeles.
