On Friday night, my husband was arrested. Because he does not speak English fluently, the police misunderstood his actions and believed he was refusing to follow instructions. After being in jail for nearly three hours, his case was automatically sent to immigration, and he is now in custody with immigration authorities.
This has been one of the hardest periods of my life. We have a one-year-old baby boy, and I am facing overwhelming legal fees and living expenses while my husband is in custody. I am doing everything I can to keep our lives together for our son, but the financial strain is more than I can manage alone. Your support will help cover the costs of legal representation and basic living expenses, giving us hope and a chance to fight for his return.
I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has donated, shared, or sent kind words. Your support is helping me stay afloat, and it reminds me that I’m not alone in this. I’m deeply grateful for each and every one of you.
