Hi, my name is Eliza Kent. I am writing this for my dear friend Nani Casillas.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Today, our beloved husband, father, and rock of our family, Chava Casillas, faces an unimaginable hardship—he is being deported from the only home our daughter, Sophia, has ever known. As we navigate this tumultuous journey, we turn to you, our community, for support in bringing Chava back home where he belongs.

Chava is more than just a husband and father; he is the cornerstone of our family. His unwavering love, strength, and dedication have been the bedrock upon which we've built our lives. For Sophia, who battles autism every day, Chava's presence is irreplaceable. He provides her with the love, care, and support she needs to thrive in a world that often misunderstands her.

As Nani, I have always leaned on Chava for support, especially in times of uncertainty. Yet, with the film industry on strike and work opportunities scarce, our financial situation has become dire. Like many in our industry, we have taken a significant hit from not working for over a year. Chava's deportation only exacerbates our struggles, leaving us without our main source of support.

We refuse to let despair consume us. Instead, we are reaching out to our community for help. Your generous donations will not only help us cover legal fees and navigate the complexities of Chava's deportation process but also provide much-needed support for Sophia's ongoing therapy and care.

Moreover, we ask for your support in writing character letters on Chava's behalf. Your words can make a difference in demonstrating Chava's positive contributions to our community and his unwavering commitment to his family.

Together, we can make a difference. Every donation, every letter, every act of kindness brings us one step closer to reuniting our family and bringing Chava back home where he belongs.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, support, and solidarity during this challenging time. With your help, we believe that we can overcome this obstacle and emerge stronger than ever before.

With love and gratitude,

Nani, Sophia, and the Casillas Family
