Hola, mi nombre es Vero Orellana y me dirijo a mi comunidad, amigos y familiares para pedir ayuda durante uno de los momentos más difíciles de nuestras vidas. El jueves por la mañana, mi esposo, Christian Guncay Vera, fue detenido por ICE mientras estábamos en la corte para lo que se suponía sería una cita rutinaria de inmigración, y desde ese día nuestra familia está viviendo una pesadilla. Christian ha estado en este país desde que tenía 18 años, no ha hecho nada malo y siempre ha tratado de dar lo mejor de sí en todo lo que hace. Es un hombre trabajador, bondadoso y solidario, que siempre ha ayudado a los demás y a su comunidad en todo lo que ha podido. También es un padre amoroso de tres hijos, quienes ahora están con el corazón roto, llenos de miedo y tratando de entender por qué su papá fue llevado de una manera tan repentina.

En este momento ya no tengo trabajo; tenía un empleo de temporada que terminó, y sin el apoyo de mi esposo me está resultando muy difícil cubrir las necesidades básicas de nuestra familia. Necesitamos ayuda urgente para pagar la renta, los servicios, la comida y otros gastos esenciales para los niños, así como los gastos legales y los honorarios de los abogados que están luchando por su liberación y haciendo todo lo posible para que pueda salir y regresar a casa. Estos costos son muy altos, pero son necesarios para que los abogados puedan hacer su trabajo y defender a mi esposo.

Pedir ayuda no es fácil, pero no podemos salir adelante solos. Cualquier donación, por pequeña que sea, nos ayudará a sobrevivir este momento tan difícil. Si no pueden donar, por favor consideren compartir nuestra historia y mantener a nuestra familia en sus pensamientos y oraciones. De todo corazón, gracias por su apoyo, solidaridad y compasión.


Hello, my name is Vero Orellana, and I am reaching out to my community, friends, and family to ask for help during one of the most difficult moments of our lives. On Thursday morning, my husband, Christian Guncay Vera, was detained by ICE while we were in court for what was supposed to be a routine immigration check-in, and since that day our family has been living a nightmare. Christian has been in this country since he was 18 years old, has done no wrong, and has always tried to do his best in everything he does. He is a hardworking, kind, and caring man who has always helped others and supported his community in any way he could. He is also a loving father to his three children, who are now heartbroken, scared, and struggling to understand why their father was taken away so suddenly.

At this time, I am no longer working. I previously had a seasonal job that has ended, and without my husband’s support I am struggling to provide for our family. We urgently need help to pay rent, utilities, food, and other basic necessities for the children, as well as the legal expenses and attorney fees required to fight for Christian’s release. These legal costs are very high, but they are necessary so the lawyers can do their job and continue fighting for him to come home.

Asking for help is not easy, but we cannot get through this alone. Any donation, no matter how small, will help us survive this difficult time and give our children some stability. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing our story and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness, support, and compassion.
