Help Bring Our Stepdad Home from ICE Detention

Donation protected
Our family is asking for your help after my stepdad was detained by ICE while on his way to work. He wasn’t doing anything but trying to provide for the people he loves. For over 4 years, he has stepped into the role of a father for me with nothing but love, patience, and support. He has always worked hard to take care of our family and has shown us what it means to put family first. He is also the father of my sweet 2-year-old little brother, who just celebrated his second birthday this June. It’s heartbreaking knowing that such an important part of his life is being taken away from him.
Right now, we’re doing everything we can to bring him home. The cost of hiring an immigration lawyer and fighting his case is something our family can’t handle alone, which is why we’re asking for help. If you’re able to donate, even $10 can make a difference. Every dollar brings us one step closer to getting the legal help he needs. If you’re not in a position to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser could help us reach someone who can. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking the time to read our story, for keeping our family in your prayers, and for standing with us during one of the most difficult times we’ve ever faced. Your kindness, love, and support mean more than words can express. ❤️

Nuestra familia les pide su apoyo después de que mi padrastro fuera detenido por ICE cuando iba camino al trabajo. No estaba haciendo nada malo; simplemente iba a trabajar para seguir sacando adelante a la familia que tanto ama.
Durante más de 4 años ha sido un verdadero padre para mí. Siempre nos ha dado amor, apoyo y ha trabajado incansablemente para que nunca nos faltara nada. También es el papá de mi hermanito de 2 años, quien apenas celebró su segundo cumpleaños este junio. Nos parte el corazón verlo crecer sin poder abrazar a su papá en un momento tan importante de su vida.
En estos momentos estamos haciendo todo lo posible por traerlo de regreso a casa. Los gastos de un abogado de inmigración y del proceso legal son muy altos, y como familia no podemos enfrentarlos solos. Si está dentro de sus posibilidades, cualquier donación, aunque sean $10, nos acerca un paso más a conseguir la ayuda legal que él necesita. Y si no puede donar, compartir esta publicación también significa muchísimo para nosotros y nos ayuda a llegar a más personas. De todo corazón, gracias por tomarse el tiempo de leer nuestra historia, por sus oraciones y por cualquier apoyo que puedan brindarnos. En uno de los momentos más difíciles de nuestras vidas, su solidaridad nos da esperanza. Dios los bendiga. ❤️
