My name is Leslie, I’m the oldest of three siblings and the morning of August 8th 2026, our world was turned upside down.

Our mom was taken into ICE custody. We are now doing everything we can to support her and navigate this difficult and uncertain time as a family.

To know our mom is to love her. She is one of the kindest, most selfless people I know, and she has always been someone our family, friends and community can count on. She is a devoted grandmother to three beautiful grandchildren. She is a daughter, a sister, a mother, a wife, a neighbor, a friend and so much more. She is our hero.

This is her home. This is our home. This is where her family, her memories, and the life she has built are. More than anything, we just want our mom back home.

We are raising funds to help cover her immigration legal fees, court costs, and other expenses related to her case. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial burden on our family and allow us to focus on getting our mom the legal and emotional support she needs.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing our fundraiser with others would mean just as much to us. Thank you for listening to our story.
