Help Bryan Fight for His Freedom

My name is Kira, and I’m asking for your help on behalf of someone who has been an important part of my life and of our community for over 15 years.

Bryan has been my dog walker for more than a decade. In that time, I’ve watched him build a life with extraordinary determination and humility. He saved money for years, earned his pet-grooming certificate, and bought a used truck that he and his father spent evenings and weekends converting into a mobile grooming van. They built it themselves — truly a family dream coming to life.

From his father:

“We spent evenings and weekends for over a year building our grooming van to start our own company. This Monday was its first day, and he was very happy every morning. Two days later, he was going to drop off a puppy we had been caring for at home when people wearing masks stopped him and took him away.”

Bryan is the epitome of hard work, kindness, and responsibility.

His father describes him this way:

“He is a young man who loves God and his family, has no vices other than pizza, and has never had any legal problems. He worked, came home, and played with his little sister. That was his life.”

Bryan was brought to the United States as a child. This is the only home he has ever known. His only “crime” is living in the country where he grew up — where he went to school, worked, served families, and built a dream of owning his own small business.

This week, that dream was shattered.

Masked agents took him off the street with no warning. We hear stories like this in the news, but it becomes painfully real when it happens to someone you know — someone you trust — someone who has helped you. When I broke my shoulder, Bryan and his father were at my house helping without hesitation. They have always been there for me.

Now we need to be there for him.

Bryan faces a hearing on December 1, and his family is desperately trying to secure legal representation so he has a fighting chance. Without it, he could be sent out of the only country he has ever known, possibly to be tortured.

We are raising funds to support Bryan’s legal defense.

We don’t know if we will win. But we cannot let money be the reason justice is denied.

If you can contribute, please do. Any amount helps.

Thank you for standing up for someone who has worked tirelessly, helped so many, and asked for so little.
