Arturo Villatoro has always been a beacon of hope and inspiration in our community. As a devoted Christian group leader for young adults and kids, he has dedicated countless hours to guiding others, offering support, and being a true role model. His selflessness, outgoing nature, and unwavering faith have touched the lives of so many, making him a beloved friend and mentor to all who know him.
On the morning of February 15, 2026, Arturo was on his way to work when he was stopped by ICE officers. Without warning, he was apprehended and detained, leaving his family, friends, and the entire community in shock and heartbreak. We are now facing the urgent challenge of raising funds to cover the legal fees and other necessary expenses to fight for Arturo’s return. Every dollar raised will go directly toward supporting his case and helping us bring him back home where he belongs.
To anyone who is considering donating or sharing this fundraiser, please know that your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express. Arturo’s family, his disciples, and all of us who care about him are deeply grateful for your support. Together, we can make a difference and help reunite Arturo with the community that loves him so much.
