My name is Lesley Quizhpi. I am 19 years old and the oldest daughter of Xavier Quizhpi. I am writing this with deep respect to explain how essential my father is to my life and to the well-being of our entire family, including my three younger sisters. My father is our protector, provider, and emotional support. As the oldest sibling, I have witnessed firsthand the sacrifices he makes every day to care for my three sisters and me. He works tirelessly to ensure we have stability, safety, and opportunities for a better future.

Recently, our family has been faced with an unimaginable challenge: my father, Xavier, has been detained by ICE. This has left us devastated and fearful for our future. His absence has created not only an emotional void but also a financial burden, as we now face significant legal fees to fight for his return. My sisters and I rely on our father for guidance, protection, and emotional stability. The thought of growing up without his presence and support is heartbreaking. We are doing everything we can to bring him home, but we cannot do it alone.

We are incredibly grateful for the kindness, support, and encouragement people have shown during this time—it truly means more than words can express. Every message, share, and gesture of help reminds us that we’re not alone, and that compassion is powerful. Any donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference and helps lighten the load as we move forward. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us, believing in us, and helping in any way you can.
