Help Bring Our Father Home from ICE Detention

Donation protected
This morning, our family was turned upside down when my father was taken into ICE custody while on his way to work. My father is a hardworking construction business owner who has spent years providing for our family. He has no criminal history and was simply traveling to work when he was detained.

He is the loving father of an 11 year old daughter and an 8 year old son who is nonverbal autistic and relies heavily on his father for daily support, stability, and care. Both children are heartbroken and struggling to understand why their dad is no longer home.

Beyond the emotional impact, our family is now facing an overwhelming financial burden. We are now faced with significant legal expenses as we fight to secure immigration representation and keep our family together. We are asking for your support to help cover legal fees. Any donation, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing our story.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We remain hopeful that, with the right legal representation and the support of our community, we can bring our father home.

Esta mañana, la vida de nuestra familia cambió por completo cuando mi padre fue detenido por ICE mientras se dirigía a su trabajo. Mi padre es dueño de una empresa de construcción que ha dedicado años a sacar adelante a nuestra familia. No tiene historia criminal y simplemente iba camino al trabajo cuando fue detenido.

Es el amoroso padre de una niña de 11 años y de un niño de 8 años que es no verbal y depende en gran medida de su padre para su apoyo, estabilidad y cuidado diario. Ambos niños están destrozados y luchan por comprender por qué su papá ya no está en casa.

Además del profundo impacto emocional, nuestra familia ahora enfrenta una enorme carga económica. Nos encontramos con importantes gastos legales mientras luchamos por obtener representación migratoria y mantener unida a nuestra familia. Les pedimos de todo corazón su apoyo para ayudarnos a cubrir los billes legales. Cualquier donación, sin importar la cantidad, marcará una diferencia significativa. Si no es posible contribuir económicamente, le agradeceríamos muchísimo que compartiera nuestra historia.

De todo corazón, gracias por su apoyo. Mantenemos la esperanza de que, con la representación legal adecuada y el respaldo de nuestra comunidad, podamos traer a nuestro padre de regreso a casa.
