Help Isaac Herrera stay in the U.S.
Donation protected
Hello Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,
I am humbly asking for financial help and prayers to help and cover the cost of legal services for Removal Proceedings for my brother Isaac Herrera.
My brother Isaac is 27 years old and currently facing possible deportation. He is currently in Adelanto ICE detention center in California. He has been in the United States since he was 3 years old. He went to elementary school, Middle school, and graduated from Highschool in the city of Lake Elsinore, CA. He only knows the American way of life , not to mention he’s never been to Mexico since he came to the United States. When he graduated he was able to apply for DACA and was approved. Unfortunately, he was unable to renew his application this year and ICE has detained him. He is one of the kindest, most caring, helpful, and hard-working people that I know and I’m not just saying that because he’s my brother. Countless people that have known him since he was a young kid to the people that meet him now as an adult can all say that Isaac is someone who they can talk to and be around to turn around any bad day. His sense of humor and cheerful personality makes him approachable and any moment around him is never dull. He has so much potential to be great and successful here in the U.S. He knows more about the history, politics, and so much more about this country than a lot of the people who were actually born and raised here know. He has recently enrolled in school to become a welder which I'm so proud of him for doing. He has gone through so much to make something of himself and has continued to work to be able to create not only a better life for him but his family.
About 4 years ago we experienced this with our father, except he was deported immediately. We lost just about everything that my parents had including our home. It was hard for us to deal with and go through it with little help. We eventually got back on our feet and continued to live our lives. We both provided for each other along with providing for my parents and younger sister back in Mexico. I thought that was the hardest thing to go through in our lives. To not have the opportunity to see our parents or sister at any time. And to be honest, to even think I may lose my brother to deportation is devastating. I have hired a lawyer who wants to help my brother during this process and time of need. Unfortunately, with the amount that legal services will cost, I cannot do this on my own to help him. They are charging $12,000 that’s not including what his bond may cost if the judge allows it. I know we may not receive that amount but with the help of family, friends, kind strangers, and God, I know we can do whatever we can and help him stay in what he knows as his home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this, for the prayers, and for sharing this story and/or donating. I hope to be able to give back to those as much as we have received in this time of need.
Removal proceedings are administrative proceedings to determine an alien's removability from the United States and his or her eligibility for relief under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
