Help Carlos Stay Home

We are asking our community to come together and help Carlos during one of the most frightening and uncertain moments of his life.

Carlos is a high school senior who has lived in the United States since he was just 2 years old. This is the place he has grown up, gone to school, made friends, played sports, worked, and built his dreams for the future. It is the only home he truly knows.

Right now, Carlos is being held in immigration detention and is facing the possibility of deportation. His family has already been torn apart. His mother and older brother have been deported/are going through the deportation process, and Carlos is now fighting for the opportunity to remain in the United States. His father passed away when Carlos was only a baby.

His mother’s greatest wish is simple: for her son to be able to stay here and continue the life he has worked so hard to build.

About Carlos

Carlos is so much more than an immigration case. He is a hardworking student who has earned all A’s and is entering his senior year of high school. He is involved in JROTC, boxing, and wrestling, and during his very first year of wrestling, he worked his way onto the varsity team.

He was looking forward to making the most of his senior year. He even wanted to try out for soccer—something that has been part of his life since childhood, when he was captain of his elementary school soccer team.

Carlos spent this entire summer working and saving his money because he had a goal: buying his own car. Through his hard work, he accomplished it. It was supposed to represent the beginning of his independence and the next chapter of his life. Instead, he is now detained and fighting for the chance to come home.

Carlos is also just a regular teenager with the little things that make him who he is. His favorite color is purple, his favorite food is beef soup, and he loves Formula 1, contact sports, soccer, and cats. His cat, Oreos, is waiting for him at home.

After graduating high school, Carlos planned to begin working alongside his stepdad and start building his adult life. He deserves the opportunity to graduate, pursue his goals, work, and continue contributing to the community where he was raised.

Why We’re Asking for Help

Carlos urgently needs experienced legal representation to fight his immigration case and pursue every legal option that may allow him to remain in the United States.

Immigration cases can become extremely expensive, especially when someone is detained. We are raising funds to help cover Carlos’s immigration attorney fees and other necessary legal expenses directly related to his case.

Every donation will go toward giving Carlos the strongest opportunity possible to have his case properly represented and heard.

We cannot guarantee what the outcome of his case will be, but we can make sure he doesn’t have to face it without the legal help he needs.

Carlos has spent nearly his entire life here. He has worked hard in school. He has pushed himself in athletics. He has worked for the things he wanted. He has made plans for his future. He deserves the chance to fight for that future.

If you are able to donate, no amount is too small. If you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, coworkers, teammates, coaches, teachers, and community would mean just as much.

Please help us give Carlos the opportunity to come home, finish his senior year, graduate with his classmates, and continue building the life he has known since he was two years old.

Help us fight to keep Carlos home.

Thank you for donating, sharing, praying, and standing with Carlos and everyone who loves him.
