On January 3rd, 2026, our family’s world was turned upside down when my husband’s dad, Papa Juan, was detained by ICE at Cub Foods. For over 24 hours, we didn’t know where he was, and the fear and uncertainty were overwhelming. When we finally learned he was being sent to Mexico, our hearts broke. Papa Juan is not only the backbone of our family, but also the main provider. His absence has left us facing challenges we never imagined, especially as we try to care for our one-year-old daughter who adores her Papa. 
 
 
 We were already struggling to make ends meet, but now, without Papa Juan’s support, it’s become even harder. The bills keep coming—rent, water, lights, and phones—and we’re doing everything we can to keep our home stable for our little one. Every day feels uncertain, but we’re holding onto hope and doing our best to stay strong for each other. 
 
 
 We are reaching out to our community for help during this incredibly difficult time. Any support you can offer will go directly toward keeping a roof over our heads, paying essential bills, and making sure our daughter has what she needs. Thank you for reading our story and for any kindness you can share. Your support means more than words can say. *Si quieres ayudar directamente y tener mi contacto, ponte en contacto conmigo*

El 3 de enero de 2026, el mundo de nuestra familia se puso patas arriba cuando el padre de mi esposo, Papa Juan, fue detenido por ICE en Cub Foods. Durante más de 24 horas, no sabíamos dónde estaba, y el miedo y la incertidumbre eran abrumadores. Cuando finalmente supimos que lo estaban enviendo a México, nuestros corazones se rompieron. Papá Juan no solo es la columna vertebral de nuestra familia, sino también el principal proveedor. Su ausencia nos ha dejado enfrentando desafíos que nunca imaginamos, especialmente cuando tratamos de cuidar a nuestra hija de un año que adora a su papá.

Ya estábamos luchando para llegar a fin de mes, pero ahora, sin el apoyo de Papá Juan, se ha vuelto aún más difícil. Las facturas siguen llegando (alquiler, agua, luces y teléfonos) y estamos haciendo todo lo posible para mantener nuestra casa estable para nuestro pequeño. Cada día parece incierto, pero nos aferramos a la esperanza y hacemos todo lo posible para mantenernos fuertes el uno por el otro.

Estamos contactando a nuestra comunidad para pedir ayuda durante este momento increíblemente difícil. Cualquier apoyo que pueda ofrecer se destinará directamente a mantener un techo sobre nuestras cabezas, pagar facturas esenciales y asegurarse de que nuestra hija tenga lo que necesita. Gracias por leer nuestra historia y por cualquier amabilidad que puedas compartir. Tu apoyo significa más de lo que las palabras pueden decir.
