<div>We are a family of faith. A father, a mother, five children… and today we are living the deep pain of having one of them unjustly detained.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Erika, and together with my husband, we have done everything possible to raise our family with hard work, effort, and dignity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But everything changed with one phone call.
</div>
<div>Our son, Ian Daniel, was detained by ICE—
</div>
<div>despite having legal status in this country, despite studying, working, and living responsibly.
</div>
<div>He is a noble young man, full of dreams, who has never committed a crime.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since that moment, it has all been uncertainty, heartbreak…
</div>
<div>and a constant race against time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have done everything in our power:
</div>
<div>✅ We already hired attorneys.
</div>
<div>✅ We already submitted evidence.
</div>
<div>✅ The legal process has already begun.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But despite all of that, our son remains in detention.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ian has always paid for his own immigration processes.
</div>
<div>He has served his community. He loves this country.
</div>
<div>And yet, today he is behind bars.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As parents, our hearts are broken.
</div>
<div>And even more so when the system now requires us to come up with an amount of money that is completely beyond our means.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To take the next legal step and fight for his release,
</div>
<div>we need to hire a specialized legal team—
</div>
<div>and the cost is $25,000 dollars.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We never imagined asking for help like this.
</div>
<div>We feel embarrassed. We’ve always worked hard, without stopping.
</div>
<div>But today… we can’t do it alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And when it comes to your child, you do whatever it takes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, with open hearts, we launch this campaign—
</div>
<div>with humility, with hope.
</div>
<div>Because every donation, every kind word, every prayer…
</div>
<div>is a way to get closer to him, and to remind him: you are not alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fund will go directly to cover his legal defense
</div>
<div>and help give our son a real chance at freedom.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We ask you to help in any way you can: by donating, sharing, or praying.
</div>
<div>Every action matters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading.
</div>
<div>Thank you for feeling with us.
</div>
<div>Thank you for being here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude and faith,
</div>
<div>Erika &amp; Familia
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Somos una familia de fe. Un padre, una madre, cinco hijos… y hoy vivimos el dolor profundo de tener a uno de ellos detenido injustamente.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mi nombre es Erika, y junto con mi esposo hemos hecho todo lo posible por sacar adelante a nuestra familia con trabajo, esfuerzo y dignidad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pero la vida cambió con una llamada.
</div>
<div>Nuestro hijo, Ian Daniel, fue detenido por ICE,
</div>
<div>a pesar de tener estatus legal en este país, haber estudiado, trabajado y vivido con responsabilidad.
</div>
<div>Es un joven noble, lleno de sueños, que nunca ha cometido ningún delito.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Desde ese momento, todo ha sido incertidumbre, dolor…
</div>
<div>y una lucha constante contra el tiempo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hemos hecho todo lo que ha estado en nuestras manos:
</div>
<div>✅ Ya contratamos abogados.
</div>
<div>✅ Ya presentamos pruebas.
</div>
<div>✅ Ya iniciamos el proceso legal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pero, a pesar de todo eso, nuestro hijo sigue detenido.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ian ha pagado siempre sus propios trámites migratorios.
</div>
<div>Ha servido a su comunidad. Ama este país.
</div>
<div>Y aun así, hoy está encerrado.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Como padres, nos duele el alma.
</div>
<div>Y más aún cuando el sistema nos exige reunir una cantidad que simplemente ya está fuera de nuestro alcance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Para poder dar el siguiente paso y luchar por su liberación, necesitamos contratar una defensa especializada, cuyo costo es de $25,000 dólares.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nunca imaginamos tener que pedir ayuda.
</div>
<div>Nos da vergüenza. Siempre hemos trabajado sin parar.
</div>
<div>Pero hoy… no podemos solos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Y cuando se trata de un hijo, uno hace lo que sea necesario.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Por eso, con el corazón en la mano, abrimos esta campaña, con humildad y esperanza.
</div>
<div>Porque cada donación, cada palabra de aliento, cada oración…
</div>
<div>es una forma de acercarnos a él, de decirle: no estás solo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Este fondo se usará exclusivamente para cubrir su defensa legal y ayudar a que nuestro hijo tenga una oportunidad real de libertad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Te pedimos que nos ayudes como puedas: donando, compartiendo, orando.
</div>
<div>Todo suma.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por leer, por sentir, por estar.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con gratitud y fe,
</div>
<div>Erika y familia
</div>
