On the day before the 4th of July, Independence Day, Silvio was detained on his way to work. Silvio is from Mexico and has been here since the age of 16 and is now being detained far away in California, leaving Carla, who is from El Salvador, with their 15-month-old, Mateo, all alone with no emotional support to raise their baby. Silvio was the breadwinner and without him, the baby and Carla were significantly impacted. The family car has not been returned.

Carla and Silvio loved spending time together with their baby. Silvio was so proud of his bouncing baby boy! Mateo's certificate of his christening is proudly displayed on the wall in their home.

Carla loves her baby and spends as much time with him as possible, but she had to find work to survive the loss of Silvio's income. She is working 3 to 4 days per week painting apartments and now childcare fees, and transportation costs are an additional expense added to rent, groceries, utilities, and more. Her income is not enough to meet her family financial needs. She really needs some help from the community to keep their heads above water.

Anything that you can donate will be sincerely appreciated by Carla and her baby. Another big help is to share this widely with friends, family and any organization that you may belong to. It takes a village. Carla and Mateo are counting on our community to keep them housed and fed. You can help.

El día anterior al 4 de julio —el Día de la Independencia—, Silvio fue detenido mientras se dirigía al trabajo. Silvio es originario de México y reside aquí desde los 16 años; actualmente se encuentra detenido en California, muy lejos de casa. Esta situación ha dejado a Carla, originaria de El Salvador, completamente sola y sin apoyo emocional para criar a Mateo, el hijo de ambos, que tiene 15 meses. Silvio era el principal sustento económico de la familia y su ausencia ha afectado profundamente tanto al bebé como a Carla. Además, el automóvil familiar aún no ha sido devuelto.

A Carla y a Silvio les encantaba pasar tiempo juntos con su bebé. ¡Silvio estaba muy orgulloso de su pequeño! El certificado de bautizo de Mateo ocupa un lugar destacado en la pared de su hogar.

Carla adora a su bebé y pasa con él todo el tiempo posible, pero se vio obligada a buscar trabajo para sobrellevar la pérdida de los ingresos de Silvio. Trabaja entre 3 y 4 días a la semana pintando apartamentos; ahora, los gastos de guardería y transporte se suman a los costos de alquiler, alimentos, servicios públicos y otras necesidades. Sus ingresos no alcanzan para cubrir las necesidades económicas de la familia. Realmente necesita ayuda de la comunidad para salir adelante.

Cualquier donación será profundamente agradecida por Carla y su bebé. Otra gran ayuda consiste en difundir este mensaje entre amigos, familiares y cualquier organización a la que usted pertenezca. Se necesita de toda una comunidad para salir adelante; Carla y Mateo cuentan con nosotros para mantener un techo sobre sus cabezas y comida en su mesa. Usted puede ayudar.
