Many children are left with one parent after a parent is detained, E is all alone. His dad was detained in July and moved from Pennsylvania to Louisiana. After a month in the horrible conditions of the Louisiana detention center, his dad was convinced to sign self deportation papers. E has been fending for himself ever since.

He works full time while also working to finish senior year of high school. He used to play soccer with his father, and the pair spent all their time together. Now, E does nothing but work and go to school. He is too nervous to leave his aunt’s home, where he pays rent for his room and board. He does nothing but work and go to school, while also helping out with his young cousins. This young man misses his father terribly and feels so alone. His greatest wish is to finish school and find a way to go to college, where he wants to study business so he can one day own his own business.

At school, he loves astronomy class, learning English and having time with friends. The supportive staff at Gaithersburg High School is helping him to finish classes and figure out future options. What he needs most is our community’s help to give him time to focus on school and finishing out the year–to give him the support that his parents cannot give from El Salvador.

This young man is loved by his teachers, who have helped him in every way they can. Please help with financial resources to get him through high school. He deserves the chance to make a life.

Muchos niños quedan al cuidado de un solo progenitor cuando el otro es detenido; E, en cambio, está completamente solo. Su padre fue detenido en julio y trasladado de Pensilvania a Luisiana. Tras un mes en las pésimas condiciones del centro de detención de Luisiana, convencieron a su padre de firmar documentos de autodeportación. Desde entonces, E ha tenido que valerse por sí mismo.

Trabaja a tiempo completo mientras intenta terminar el último año de secundaria. Solía jugar al fútbol con su padre y ambos pasaban todo el tiempo juntos; ahora, E no hace más que trabajar e ir a la escuela. Le da miedo salir de casa de su tía, a quien paga el alquiler de su habitación y la comida. Este joven extraña muchísimo a su padre y se siente muy solo. Su mayor deseo es terminar los estudios y encontrar la manera de ir a la universidad.

En la escuela, le encanta la clase de astronomía, aprender inglés y pasar tiempo con sus amigos. El personal de apoyo de la escuela secundaria Gaithersburg High School le está ayudando a completar sus clases y a explorar opciones para el futuro. Lo que más necesita es la ayuda de nuestra comunidad para disponer de tiempo y centrarse en los estudios y en terminar el año escolar; necesita el apoyo que sus padres no pueden brindarle desde El Salvador.

Sus profesores lo aprecian mucho y lo han ayudado en todo lo que han podido. Por favor, colabore con recursos económicos para ayudarlo a completar la secundaria. Se merece la oportunidad de construir una vida.
