On July 9th, my father was unexpectedly detained by ICE on his way to work, placing an overwhelming emotional and financial strain on our family. My father has always been the pillar of our home—working hard to provide for us and supporting us in every way he can. His sudden absence has shifted all daily responsibilities onto my mother, who is currently managing the household and supporting my siblings through this process. 
 
 
 Navigating immigration proceedings involves swift legal action, strict deadlines, and substantial costs. We are actively working with legal counsel to establish a defense, but we need support to cover critical expenses, including attorney fees and court-ordered bail so he can fight his case from home. At the same time, his absence has cut off our main source of household income. Your contributions will directly fund these legal proceedings and provide vital support for my mother to cover basic living expenses for my siblings during this period. This GoFundMe page exists for those who wish to support our family during this time. 
 
 
 Your generosity will go directly toward these critical needs, giving us hope and a chance to reunite as a family. Every single dollar goes directly toward these critical needs, but if you aren't able to donate right now, simply sharing this link makes a massive difference. Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support during this critical time as we fight to keep our family whole. God bless you.

 El 9 de julio, mi padre fue detenido inesperadamente por ICE cuando iba camino al trabajo, lo que ha generado una enorme carga emocional y financiera para nuestra familia. Mi padre siempre ha sido el pilar de nuestro hogar: trabajando duro para proveer para nosotros y apoyándonos en todo lo posible. Su repentina ausencia ha trasladado todas las responsabilidades diarias a mi madre, quien actualmente está administrando el hogar y apoyando a mis hermanos durante este proceso. Navegar los procedimientos de inmigración implica una acción legal rápida, plazos estrictos y costos sustanciales. Estamos trabajando activamente con asesoría legal para establecer una defensa, pero necesitamos apoyo para cubrir gastos críticos, incluyendo los honorarios del abogado y la fianza fijada por la corte para que pueda llevar su caso desde casa. Al mismo tiempo, su ausencia ha cortado nuestra principal fuente de ingresos del hogar. Sus contribuciones financiarán directamente estos procedimientos legales y brindarán un apoyo vital para que mi madre cubra los gastos básicos de manutención de mis hermanos durante este período. Esta página de GoFundMe existe para quienes deseen apoyar a nuestra familia durante este tiempo. Su generosidad se destinará directamente a estas necesidades críticas, dándonos esperanza y la oportunidad de reunirnos como familia. Cada dólar va directamente a estas necesidades críticas, pero si no puede donar en este momento, el simple hecho de compartir este enlace hace una enorme diferencia. Gracias por su amabilidad, sus oraciones y su apoyo durante este momento tan crítico mientras luchamos por mantener a nuestra familia unida. Que Dios los bendiga.
