Marco is a dyslexic young man who has called the United States home since he was one year old. Born in the State of Mexico, he came here with his parents seeking a better life.

For years, Marco lived a life of promise and hope. But everything changed in 2025 when his parents were violently apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and deported to Mexico. Since their removal, Marco and his sister have felt the profound absence of their mother and father in every missed birthday, holiday, and milestone.

A Family Separated

Marco’s parents had been living in the United States since 1996, building a life, a home, and a community here. Their sudden removal has left a deep void, not just for Marco and his sister, but for their entire family. No one should have to endure the heartbreak of forced separation from their loved ones.

The Opportunity to Reunite

After years of uncertainty and heartache, Marco now has a chance to bring his parents back home. They’ve been allowed to pay the required legal and immigration fees to return to Texas and secure permanent residency. This is his family’s only hope to reunite and finally live without the constant fear of deportation.

The Urgency: A Critical Deadline

Marco is facing a critical deadline. He must pay the legal fees and complete the necessary paperwork by June 30, 2026, or risk losing the last opportunity to bring his parents back home. This is his final chance to secure permanent residency for them, and without the funds to cover the legal costs, their future is uncertain. Marco has already paid dearly for prior extensions, but this final step is beyond his reach alone.
