Help Bring Stability and Support to US Navy SEAL Family Home

Donation protected
Wilbert Joseph "Joe" Castaneda has dedicated nearly 20 years to protecting our freedoms as a highly decorated U.S. Navy Sailor who has completed multiple combat deployments as a Navy SEAL across several continents, putting his life on the line repeatedly so others wouldn't have to. He has served our country with unmatched courage, sacrifice, and honor.

But now, Wilbert needs us to fight for him.

Since August 2024, The State Department designated Wilbert as being held hostage in Venezuela under circumstances that are heartbreaking and unjust. His freedom has been stolen and so has his ability to provide for his family back home.

During this time, his financial obligations have fallen into critical jeopardy—through no fault of his own. Wilbert's family is now facing the terrifying reality of losing their home to foreclosure. Mortgage payments have fallen behind, and his hard-earned assets—everything he's worked for—are at risk of being stripped away while he remains in captivity.

This is where you come in.

We are asking you to stand beside Wilbert and his family. All donations will go directly toward catching up on mortgage payments and protecting the Castaneda home from foreclosure. These funds are not for luxury, leisure, or anything outside of necessity. This is about preserving the roof over his family's head while they wait—hoping for Wilbert's safe return.

Wilbert has given so much to this nation. It's time we give something back.

Whether you can give a little or a lot, your support will help relieve a heavy burden from a family already enduring unimaginable stress. And more than that—it sends a clear message that we care for our own.

He fought for us. Now, we fight for him.

Please donate, share, and stand with the Castaneda family.

Let's be the heroes Wilbert needs right now.
