 My father, Edwin Daniel Macario, has lived in the Mohawk Valley for over 23 years. He works in construction and built a life here for our family, my mom, me and my 2 siblings, in a small town outside of Utica. Beyond his family and his work, he has a passion and talent for bringing people together. Every year he organizes soccer teams, leagues, and tournaments that bring together hundreds of people to have fun and get to know each other.

 Early in the morning on Sunday July 26, I was driving with my dad to work when two vehicles came up on very fast and forced us off the road. Suddenly 4 agents surrounded our vehicle. They were looking for someone else. But they took my dad anyway. I had to return home along and explain to my mom what had happened. He was not able to even make a phone call to let us know where he was until Wednesday.

 Now we are fighting to bring him home, as he was the main economic support for our family. We are raising money for his legal fees and are very grateful for any help from the community in sharing his story or donating if you are able. Thank you so much.

 Tempranito en la mañana del domingo 26 de julio, íbamos rumbo al trabajo y yo íba manejando cuando dos carro se nos vinieron encima y nos obligó a salirnos de la carretera. De repente salieron 4 agentes de los vehículos y rodearon nuestro vehículo. Buscaban a otra persona. Pero de todas formas se llevaron a mi papá. A mí me tocó volver solo a la casa y decirle a mi mamá lo que había pasado. Él ni pudo llamarnos para dejarnos saber donde estaba hasta el miércoles.

 Ahora luchamos por traerlo a casa, ya que era el principal sustento económico de nuestra familia. Estamos recaudando fondos para sus gastos legales y agradecemos de corazón cualquier colaboración de la comunidad, ya sea compartiendo su historia o haciendo una donación si les es posible. Muchísimas gracias.
