Help Family-Owned Business After ICE Detention

Donation protected
American Pie Pizza is a small, immigrant-owned restaurant that has been a beloved part of our community. Just last year, new owners took over with big dreams and plans to revitalize the business. As we were preparing for a re-grand opening, tragedy struck—ICE detained and deported Diego, one of the owners, despite him having a valid work visa. To make matters even more challenging, our restaurant is located right across from The Hub, which is a hot spot for ICE activity. This has made it even harder for us to keep our doors open and for our team and customers to feel safe.

Your support will help us cover essential expenses like rent, necessities, and rides for our hardworking team. It will also go toward Diego's legal fees as we work to support his journey back home. If you have a specific need you want your donation to fund, please mention it in the notes; otherwise, we will distribute funds as needed to keep our restaurant doors open and help our team.

We are asking for your help to keep American Pie Pizza alive and to stand with Diego and our team during this difficult time. Your generosity will make a real difference for our community, and we are deeply grateful for any support you can offer.
