Help David Avoid Deportation

Donation protected
For those of you who don't know me, my name is David. I am 33 years old, and a loving father of 2 beautiful children, who I have full custody of. I am originally from Colombia, but was brought here as a child by my parents. I have lived in America for 20+ years.

I currently am facing deportation. Up to this point, I have been fighting this on my own the best that I can. I have tried a GoFundMe in the past, but I was shamed for it. I wanted so badly to be able to do this myself. For my kids. But being a single father makes it very difficult to do so. I've come to realize I have to swallow my pride and ask any and all help anyone is willing to provide. If I lose this case, I will be deported back to Colombia. A country I have not lived in since I was a child. I've lived my life in America since I was 12 Years old. I've built my whole life here. My family and my children are here. My children will lose their father, their sole provider.

$20,000 is what is needed for an immigration lawyer plus legal fees. This will help me so I can fight to stay in America and raise my children. I am running out of time to save my life and my children from losing their father. Please help in any way you can, and know that I am immensely grateful for each and every person who can help me in some way. Thank you.
