My mom has lived in the United States since she was just one year old. This is the only home she has ever known. She has built her life here — raising four beautiful children, working hard, paying taxes, and contributing to her community just like anyone else.

She is a mother, sister, daughter, and now a grandmother, deeply loved by her family and the center of our lives.

She is a devoted mother of four children, including a 12-year-old, a 2-year-old, and a 10-month-old baby who depend on her every day for care, stability, and love. She is also a small business owner who has worked hard to achieve her goals and live the American dream by building a stable life for her family.

Right now, our family is facing an incredibly painful and urgent situation: our mom is in ICE detention center.

We have secured an experienced immigration attorney ready to represent her and request her release, but we urgently need to raise money to cover her legal fees so she can have representation in court.

In immigration detention, people are not provided a public defender. Without a lawyer, individuals can face court alone and risk deportation without having their case fully presented.

Her sudden absence has devastated her children and our entire family. She is the heart of our home, and her youngest baby is now without their mother during this crucial time.

We are asking for help to cover:

• Immigration attorney fees

• Possible immigration bond if granted

• Basic needs for her children during her detention.

Having legal representation gives her a real chance to fight to come home to her children and the only home she has ever known.

Any support or sharing means more than we can express. Thank you for helping us bring our mom home.
