Help Bring Rolando Home to His Family

Donation protected
Rolando is a devoted father to our two children and a hardworking man who has inspired many people around him. He has been in the United States for more than 16 years, building a life for our family and always putting us first. On January 9th, our world was turned upside down when, after a long day at work, Rolando was detained by ICE agents without a warrant. He has no criminal record, and his sudden detention has left us heartbroken and afraid for our future.

Rolando was the only one working in our household, as I have been caring for our children—one of whom is nonverbal and the other autistic, both needing regular therapy. With Rolando gone, I am struggling to cover our rent, utilities, and basic living expenses, as well as the gas needed to take our kids to their therapy appointments. The legal fees to fight for Rolando’s return are overwhelming, and I am doing everything I can to keep our family together during this incredibly difficult time.

Your support would mean the world to us. Anything you can give will help us cover our living and legal expenses, and bring Rolando home to his children who miss him dearly. Thank you for standing with our family and helping us through this crisis.

Rolando es un padre ejemplar para nuestros dos hijos y un hombre trabajador que ha inspirado a muchas personas a su alrededor. Lleva más de 16 años en Estados Unidos, construyendo una vida para nuestra familia y siempre priorizándonos. El 9 de enero, nuestro mundo se derrumbó cuando, después de un largo día de trabajo, Rolando fue detenido por agentes de ICE sin una orden judicial. No tiene antecedentes penales, y su repentina detención nos ha dejado con el corazón roto y temerosos por nuestro futuro.

Rolando era el único que trabajaba en casa, ya que yo me dedico al cuidado de nuestros hijos, uno de ellos con dificultades para comunicarse verbalmente y el otro con autismo, ambos necesitando terapia regularmente. Con Rolando ausente, me resulta muy difícil cubrir el alquiler, los servicios públicos y los gastos básicos, así como la gasolina necesaria para llevar a nuestros hijos a sus citas de terapia. Los honorarios legales para luchar por el regreso de Rolando son abrumadores, y estoy haciendo todo lo posible para mantener a nuestra familia unida durante este momento increíblemente difícil.

Su apoyo significaría muchísimo para nosotros. Cualquier ayuda que puedan brindarnos nos ayudará a cubrir nuestros gastos de manutención y legales, y a traer a Rolando de vuelta a casa con sus hijos, quienes lo extrañan profundamente. Gracias por acompañarnos y ayudarnos a superar esta crisis.
