My name is Baby G (Alisa Kolova). I am a tattoo artist from Siberia, working in this field since 2010. I immigrated to the United States in 2024 to build a new and safe life.

In May 2025, I was unexpectedly arrested by ICE and spent 7 months in detention. I was released only a week ago. During that time, my life changed completely.

While I was detained:

• My mother passed away, and I was unable to be with her.

• Some of my tattoo equipment was stolen.

• I lost most of my belongings and my place to live in Los Angeles.

• I was left without income and without a stable home.

Right now, I am staying with friends in San Diego and trying to rebuild my life from zero. I have no family here. My daughter and my father are in another country, and I still need to support them as well.

I am not someone who usually asks for help, but this time I truly have no other choice. With Christmas coming, I’m hoping for a little light and a miracle to help me get through this extremely hard moment.

Your support will help me:

• Return to work

• Pay for basic needs (housing, food, transportation)

• Save money to reunite with my daughter and support my family

• Start rebuilding my life with dignity

At the moment, I do not have a bank account. My close friend Juan A. Joaquin is helping me collect the funds — all donations will go to his account, and he will transfer everything directly to me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any help. I will never forget your kindness.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your families.
