Donaldo es un padre trabajador de un hijo de 14 años que siempre se ha esforzado al máximo para mantener a su familia. Recientemente, se encontraba alojado en casa de un familiar cuando, a finales de diciembre, fue detenido inesperadamente por ICE en un estacionamiento. A principios de 2024, Donaldo tenía una cita en la corte para su caso de inmigración, pero su abogado le aconsejó que no asistiera, asegurándole que no era importante y que se cancelaría. Confiando en este consejo, Donaldo no fue, y esta decisión finalmente lo llevó a ser detenido.

La situación ha sido increíblemente difícil para la familia de Donaldo. Cuando le devolvieron sus pertenencias, su familia descubrió que todas sus cuentas bancarias habían sido vaciadas, dejándolos sin dinero para ayudarlo a salir de esta situación.

Los fondos recaudados se destinarán directamente a los honorarios legales para ayudar a Donaldo a iniciar un nuevo caso y a cubrir los gastos de manutención de su hijo durante este difícil momento.

Donaldo is a hardworking father of a 14-year-old who has always done his best to provide for his family. Recently, he was staying with a relative when, in late December, he was unexpectedly taken by ICE at a parking lot. Earlier in 2024, Donaldo had a court date for his immigration case, but his lawyer advised him not to attend, assuring him it was not important and would be canceled. Trusting this advice, Donaldo did not go, and this decision ultimately led to his detainment.

The situation has been incredibly difficult for Donaldo’s family. When his belongings were returned, his family discovered that all of his bank accounts had been cleared, leaving them with no money to help him get out of this situation. Now, his loved ones are left searching for ways to support him and his son, who is only 14 years old and needs his father more than ever.

We are reaching out to ask for your help. The funds raised will go directly toward legal fees to help Donaldo start a new case and to cover living expenses for his son during this challenging time.
